Reef Aquascape ideas: Floating Reef AquaScape in Red Sea Reefer 170

[@joaopedroalbuquerque8787]

Why the heck would someone dislike this???... Very useful information. Thank you!

[@fishpalace]

Thank you for your kind words. There is a story behind this. I got into a heated conversation with someone about floating aquascapes on a forum and the guy said he hated it and disagreed with the approach, not a problem as far as I am concerned. I then got 30+ 👎🏻 within a week which might be a coincidence or there is a link 🤷‍♂️. Either way it is all good and the tank is doing well ✅

Excellent 👍

Chuffed you like it 🙌🏻

Cheers Paul 👌

Hope it helped and thanks for joining the livestream 👍🏻

@@fishpalace no worries Paul absolutely love them only missed three 👍🏻

Love it! I will be attempting this as well, great timing with your video. Thanks.

[@fishpalace]

Great stuff. Let me know how you get on. I am on Instagram 👍🏻

[@ricosaquariums7992]

Looking good 👍

[@fishpalace]

Thanks for comment and for watching🙏

[@jackiekearney]

Very nice 👍

[@jaysrealreefuk]

That aquascape is incredible. I would love a floating reef. The best Red Sea Max Nano I've seen had a floating reef. Awesome job my friend 👍

[@fishpalace]

I agree, that tank looks awesome. full of scolly’s which makes it both very expensive and unique. Jay, Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@hcaquaticsreefing]

Need to buy a fluvel evo to do this. Heater Light Tmc circ pump Return pump 💪

[@fishpalace]

Great idea. Could also pick up a 2nd hand max nano or a RSR 170.

[@mattdiscus]

awesome video mate. I'm thinking about doing the same thing but I was thinking about making a larger piece so it hooks onto the back of the wall. Thought it will give me better support overall and i would also glue the pieces in

[@fishpalace]

You could do that or perhaps create a piece similar to the letter C with the base hidden by sand 🤷‍♂️

[@mattdiscus]

​@@fishpalace I could but it wouldn't be floating anymore lol

[@fishpalace]

@@mattdiscus tue but would give the illusion of a floating aquascape and that is the main thing

[@DadHD]

Looking forward to seeing this progress!

[@fishpalace]

Thanks for watching 👍🏻. Taking it slowly but will be adding a few corals very soon

[@kingjeffishere]

looks great, thinking about doing my next tank with a floating aquascape. May just try your way.

[@fishpalace]

Go for it. It is something different and looks good now but when full of coral and you cannot see the rock then that should be great

[@leongorani5121]

How has this held up? Would you recommend that marine grade silicone for this? I am not sure what type of silicone to use to do this, thanks

[@fishpalace]

A really good question. The tank is still running and the shelf is still in place with no segregation to the silicone, as I recently checked. I am just about to release a 12 month update so watch this space. 👍🏻

[@matthewdownes4700]

Loved this!! Where did you get the acrylic shelf?

[@fishpalace]

A guy I know who lives in the south east of England who makes acrylic tanks. Just gave him the dimensions and he sent it to me. If you are in uk and want me details let me know

[@matthewdownes4700]

@@fishpalace yes please I’m based in Surrey to that’d be perfect!

[@fishpalace]

Custom reef aquariums and I think they are based in or close to Surrey. They have a website and the guy who runs it is Matt

[@dirtyprinz224]

Where can I buy this shelf I'm in London

[@fishpalace]

I ordered it from a guy I know who makes acrylic tanks. Message me on Instagram and I will find his details to pass them onto you 👌🏻

[@dirtyprinz224]

@@fishpalace just did thanks mate

[@PracticalReefer]

This is great! I have an Reefer XL 200 coming and was going to use an Arka rock arch but it would leave a lot of the height unused, was looking at the Tunze magnetic rocks but a slim version of this could be a great way to fill the height a little and have a torch garden or something similar without any warfare 👍

[@fishpalace]

You could attach some frags to back wall and let them grow out. Something like Setosa or quick growing plating monti. Have seen a few people attach GSP to back and swats with movement of powerheads.

[@STOONEPIX]

I did it

[@fishpalace]

Fantastic and would love to see pics of it! I am on instagram if you want to ping some over 🙌🏻

[@STOONEPIX]

@@fishpalace yes because I try on KZbin to put un the comment but no success 😅

@@STOONEPIX you can’t add pics or links in YT comments 😥

[@connorries5827]

What kind of acrylic piece did you use?

[@fishpalace]

Made of Clear cell cast acrylic. Hope this helps

[@dariusmerve5151]

Acrylic doesnt bond with silicone. Will collapse, poor research and understanding of physics when supporting a weight.
