Art Reef Arch Hardscape in a 5 Foot Reef Tank

View every photo of this scape in the gallery

A marine hardscape built by Jag Aquatics in a 5 foot reef tank, set into the client's home. Light, porous Art Reef rocks are built into a long, flowing structure that sweeps across the full length of the tank, rising into a dramatic open arch in the middle and tapering away into low branches at each end.

Close view of the Art Reef rock arches, showing the open branching structure for coral and water flow.

About the build

The open, airy design leaves plenty of gaps for water to flow through the rock and gives fish lots of caves and swim throughs, while the many ledges and branches create space for corals to grow at every height. These photos show the finished rockwork in the tank, before the water and corals went in.
