Aquascaping a BC 14g

I am getting ready to set up a BC 14g. and I would like to see and hear some of your ideas for aquascaping it. I want to be able to put some corals and inverts and would like to hear from some of you who have a lot more experience than I.

There are a bunch of nano threads in the member tank projects forum and the nano forum, with some good aquascaping pics.

Agree with phurst here, in my experience, keep the rock to a minumum (well, at least 14 lbs in your case) so as to leave room for any corals you wish to have. Zoanthids and torches are always good for a nano i believe. But i vote you look around the forums a bit, good luck

it really depends on what you want to keep IN the nano. i agree with looking through the pics and combining them to make your own.

I would keep the live rock to 8 to 10lbs since most corals come on rocks or some kind of base. This gives you a little more room to put more frags. If you plan on attaching frags directly to your live rock then go with what small fry said. Aquascaping in a small tank isn't very difficult since you don't have much room to work with. Phurst already said to look in those other sections for pics. I suggest looking for pics of what species of coral, fish and other inverts do best in nanos. IMO this will give you a better idea of what you want your tank to look like.
