Adding height to your aquascape

[Coraljunkie]

Was wondering if anyone had any tips on adding height to an aquascape?

This is a bit subjective since a lot depends upon what you want out of the tank.

The easy way is to add more live rock or base rock. You can also build an internal structure out of PVC pipe or similar material and put the rock on top of that.

Another way is to add some corals that are fairly fast growing and let nature take it's course. A few soft corals that are allowed to grow and then are fragged into small corals can really fill in a tank.

Hi I have a rsm 130d which I have just set up my rock looks good a lot of openings but only 1 level as corals on top of each section so will be difficult to build on top Need a way to add maybe arches and also some ledges for corals ?

Any help would be much appreciated

You can glue some coral to the back of the tank and then let it grow. I have monti caps and digitata, turbinaria, and stylophora all glued to and growing on the back of the tank.

Or find very flat rocks and lean them up against the back of the tank.
