I think the scape looks awesome really like this new rock!!

Looking good Rico 👍

Love it, just not the supporting piece on the middle overhang

I like the left part and the right I think the center could use alittle work

Yes PAR reading. I like far right and left not sure about middle.

You got it 👍 💪

Nice scape I like the open scape then once corals get in going to look nice. I would do a fish cycle as well.

Yes on the PAR 👍🏽

What matters what you like. But since you ask for an honest opinion. Not a fan of it. But in the end the coral grows it doesn't matter as much when its bare. Also what size fish will be going in the tank. Small or one or two exotic fish. I know you always make beautiful looking aquarium. End results coral will make the tank. I'm interested in how long it takes to cycle and how the SPS starts to grow. Seems the big issue with dry rock. Looking forward to this build.

Nice video made me LOL

I love this aquascape. This Cornerstone stuff is amazing!

looks good. i would be tempted to break up a few small pieces of extra rock for some blastos and acans.

Definitely do the par/Micromole testing for sure... got to man... Your rock scape looks good. I see plenty of fish space. The middle section looks to me to need something a bit more natural where the fork looking rock is in the center right. I see no reason for adjustment though other wise to your rock display in my opinion. Plenty of space for good SPS growth and lps will do nicely towards the bottom. Awesome Rico.... Looking forward to your next update 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏻👍🏼

On the fly videos keep them authentic, that’s why I love your channel. You give honest opinions and show the hardships of reefing instead of just promoting sponsored products. Keep up the good work👍🏻

Regarding the scape, the structure on the right side is shading the bottom rock. I’d move it to the shelf to the right a bit to open the left side of the structure for more light.

What’s up Rico.. now a days I want to know what the average power consumption is of the Kessils once they’re set how you want them.. another fine build. What we up to six systems a piece 👍

@@ricosaquariums7992 OH yea ...I just got the chute for my ATS, reprinted with a 3D printer.

I really like the island by the door. The only part throwing it off for me is that middle part. Idk it is too straight. That part looks a like too unnatural. The rock itself looks pretty good.

I think the rock escape looks awesome and I also see that you’ve been in the gym I could see that tank full of sticks I’m loving it

"I feel like you're getting more for your money" Not when it's nearly twice as expensive as its competitors. CaribSea LifeRock: 40lbs = $160 Cornerstone: 40lbs = $300 So, the dividends you make up in size:weight you lose in $$:Lbs. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a superior product, but it's definitely not winning a value war...

Hi Rico, scape looks good. Love the bommies it is the real reef look, and that i like that Cornerstone rock. Would love to see the par for those kessil cannons. Looking real good.

I do like it but there is alot of area in the shadows. Left side seem a little low for the fish. How many pounds of rock is this? Also do the par test for sure.

I really like that aquascape. I wasn't sure about the left side at first but it grew on me the more I looked at it and started to place corals in my head. I would like to see a wet and dry par reading. Just a wild guess but I think the top rocks will be getting over 1k.

You and me both!

That rock looks cool! Some of those manufactured rocks are so dense and feel like concrete. The rock structure on the left, I would change. I wouldn’t have that shelf piece hovering so close to the sandbed. I would have it higher and build a base. The middle structure, I would move that U-Shape rock and support the shelf with some of the rocks from the right structure. The right structure I like. I just don’t like the pile of rocks at the base though.

Thank you for your honest opinion 🍻👊👍

Make a floating shelf I did on my Aquarium hit me up for pics I get lots of compliments

Very nice Rico, I do like the scape. Plenty of hiding places for fish and coral placement. Wet and dry par readings would be interesting. Good job!!

Yo Rico..long time since I've seen one of your videos man but in regards to your current scape in my opinion the flat top of those three pillars doesn't present enough real estate for the more high light corals like acros but if it's a mixed reef I suppose you've effectively created enough space for the low light like the lps and softies at the bottom of the pillars

Do you still have that big reef tank?

Hey Ricco, now that you have had the rock for a year or so. what are yout thoughts? there not a ton of info out there on this rock.

Would you still suggest this rock ? how is it holding up?

What kind of san is that?
