Bridge SPS Rocks Aquascape

Hello,

So today I decided that I had a bunch of random small rocks in my tank giving the tank a really full looking. Plus I'm getting my new Aqua Illumination Sol this Wednesday to start doing SPS corals and clams. I really needed a place to set up my Acropora. With all this being said, I took small Tonga branches and used Zip ties to connect them together to create a bigger bridge perfect to place my Acropora on to.

 This is the right on my tank before the change. As you can see it looked all crowded and taking up a lot of swim room for my fishes.

 Here are the small Tonga branch rocks that I had in my tank just laying in random places.

 Im using 75lb zip ties for this just to make sure that they will hold the rocks. If you want to do this with other types of rocks you can drill holes into them and either zip tie, glue, or use acrylic rods to hold the rock.

 Here is how the rocks look after all the zip tying is complete, as you can see it makes a pretty nice long bridge.

 An important thing here is that when you cut the zip ties make sure not to have any sharp edges where your fish might cut themselves.

Now here is the end product as you can see there is a lot more open space and makes a pretty cool more natural feel for the tank, apart from the visible zip ties. Not to worry though in a few days it should be covered up with algae and SPS Corals. I hope you enjoyed this bit and if you have any comments feel free to leave them bellow. Happy reefing.

Thank you,

Mr. Reef Tank
