Added a new and final fish for the tank... swallowtail angel.. hopefully she behaves.. awesome fish starting to settle in...
I realize she will likely outgrow this tank, thankfully an upgrade is in the cards fairly soon....
wish I could capture the colors.. the blues and contrasting black tail is so striking...

The star polyps look cool growing down onto the bottom. I remember your tank from a while back, its even more beautiful now. I just recently started a BB tank a few months ago. I only have a few corals so far. I did a 3D background on the bottom of my tank, I think it turned out pretty good.
Thank you... got a pic of the bottom? Sounds cool

Yeah I just didn't want to hijack your topic. The pic is from when I was finalizing my scape there is no water in the tank.

Its made from rock and a elastomer called polyurea. Its kind of hard to explain but they take ground up peices of rock and put it on a mold then spray the back with polyurea and it sits for 10 days. Its bendable but if you felt it it feels like the surface of live rock. You can also cut it. I had to make a few cuts for the overflows and the corners to get it to fit right. I used silicone all around the edges and down the center to make sure no water gets underneath it.
You have a build thread or anything? I would love to see more of that process and see how it progresses etc... I'm upgrading soon.. might have to read up on that some more

That's interesting. Looks like the rock mat they make for reptile take on the floor. Same thing rocky top but n bendable they say it can be used in fish tanks. There pre cut to most popular tank sizes like 10g 20g 29g 40g but can get custom sizes? Where did you get yours from? Wonder if same company.
And goskn5 what size you planning to go up to? 120? I'm guessing that would be next easiest move up or are you going for a bigger move up in size?

I didn't log any of the build process, wish I would have. Its from a company called universal rocks and they make a saltwater style that looks like sand its more of a beige color. They didn't make it at the time I built my tank. Wish they had it then I think it looks better than what I picked but I cant go back now.

Not sure yet... we are in the beginning stages of planning to have a home built... I am going to have something in the wall... have to see what size works into the house layout etc...
That's cool... I'm interested to see how it holds up over time and how it looks in a year or two... pretty cool idea
