Here are a couple of pics with most of the rock in the tank before I start to do anything with arranging. There are also a few large plates that are not in the tank yet.

I love that last pic. It really shows the length of the tank. Can't wait to see how you aquascape this tank.

Arna, why don't you order live rock with good shape?
Is it illegal to bring in?

Love the length of that tank.... Wish my house is big enough

 

[spsfreak]

It is not illigal to import but 500KG of wet liverock costs a fortune to transfer.

I really liked how I could cherry pick the rocks and the size of them. I also wanted to arrange them dry since I am not used to aquascaping underwater

This way I can arrange this in good time without having to worry. I will fill the tank with freshwater and let it run through the tank and into the drain for couple of days while stirring the sand a little and then add salt. When the salt is in I will seed it with mature live rock and livesand.

Today I actually managed to get plenty of time to completely arrange the rocks. I will post some pictures in couple of hours.

Here is first attempt and I am pretty pleased with the depth and dimension. I wanted a good balance between rock and sand as well as plenty of caves/hiding places for fish.

The pictures are not the best but I took all the lights out so I could have room to work in the tank. I also got the T5 brackets this morning so I can attach them to the frames before I put the lights back in. I can't believe how close this is to saltwater time

What do you think ?

More hi-res images here

.. forgot to mention that the other viewable side has this 'fire' curtain which at the moment can't be lifted but the motor for it will be in house after few days I hope.

What kind of sand is that? It looks really brown.
