Been camping so nothing yet lol. There will be lots of updates next week though

Update!
I messed around with my rocks today and came up with this! Im sure i will change it slightly but i love the way it looks now! Let me know what you think

What is the foot print of that tank?

Like dimmentions? Its 48 by 20 by 21 if u look closley at the pic there is a piece of plastic under the rock that fits inside the tank

I couldn't tell if it was 3 or 4 feet long.

Oh ya its 4. U like the aquascape?

I want to see full frontal before I say I like it

I like the swimming room it provides, and its different from a rock wall. I do like it but I second the frontal view.

It will look fanastic with coral all over it!

Frontal. Meanning from the front?

No from the side

Hahaha ok im putting them in my tank now ill take pics after im done!

What's up with lights?

Ordered them today

I like the scaling, it doesn't look like a pile of rocks stacked up. it has good form.

Thanks! Now if only i could make it look the same now that its in my tank

My dads aquascape

The two final aquascapes!

I really like this. I personally like a lot of hiding room for fishes; makes them feel more comfortabe. There are holes for they to swim through and lots of places to put corals at different levels.

One thing someone suggested to me that I didn't do was to pre-drill holes the size of frag plugs. It makes placing frags so much easier..

Ya i was thinking about the frag plug thing but most of the time i just take the frag off the plug anywayse

I have such as struggle getting anything to stay down, so plugs are my solution. Maybe I don't have enough patience...

Lol i have a technique. If you put super glue then purple rock putty then glue it makes it stick really good

Yeah I do this too, I use a combo of epoxy putty and super glue gel.

I cut the frag from the plug, put a dab of super glue to the base and then put a ball of putty over the glue and then more super glue on the putty ball, then I just squish the putty ball to the rock so that it takes shape, the glue holds everything on until the putty hardens.

Exactly

I like to keep mine on the plug its like free skeleton for the coral

Sand!





Refugium. Over 5 inches of sand and lots of rock rubble for pods!

where is the water!

Tommrow!

sick dude!

Ya! I have one more pvc part i need thats comming tommrow then i can add water! Lights are getting here tommrow too

sweet are you starting with RO or NSW?

Nsw

I think

what do you mean you think? lol is it natural sea water, RO water? sewer water?

Oh sorry i thought u meant new salt water like i mix it before i put it in the tank lol

New Salt Water?

Glad to see it's moving along.
