I used vinyl on mine. The vinyl sheets we had access to were only 27" wide, and my tank is 36x36, so I had to use 2 pieces to cover the bottom. After a year of use, I wish I'd used a different color. I really feel like some type of gray or maybe even a silver vinyl would work better - as it would help reflect, rather than absorb my lighting that hits the bottom, and would take longer to "look dirty."

Was trying to create a bonzai system, how ever i ended up with this instead:

at least it can hold a lot of sps corals.... but i am pretty happy with the result, even though it could have ben more "light"...

I was fortunate enough to have my tank come with a dark grayish PVC type material that they used as a base under the glass, but i think black paint would look great! The biggest problem i think you would encounter is peeling if water finds its way under the tank.

IDK if this helps but i have a square piece of Styrofoam that is about a 1/8 inch thick. I do not have a BB but it looked good for the second before i added sand.

Your tank looks great, crazy. Can I ask what type of rock you're using? I'd like to get some more flat rocks like that, any suggestions?

 

[nemokeeper]

Hi There Crazy4 acros are there any new updates on this stunner of a system?

I guess I'll share with you my bonsai tree inspired aquascape as well.

The rockwork is made up of 3 sections, a bonsai tree shaped rockwork to the left and to the right, then a small platform rockwork in the middle, there is about 1.5" space between the platform and sandbed.

This is a few pieces of dead rock I used, since I was upgrading from a 25g nano tank, there're live rocks with SPS encrusted on them already, so these were used to form the base of the aquascape:

I've placed tabling acro's on the bonsai tree rockworks hoping that in time they'll grow outwards to complete the picture.
