i got the tank home and manage to put some water and with a lot of help aquascape. some sneak peak of what the tank looks like

full shot

front left

and the side

i went with a rubble bottom inspired by dave and dustin. flow will come from 2 swirls and alternating sequence pumps. i have 2 250 watt 20k lights so it's a little blue.

thanks for looking. ramiro

Is this post-Katrina? I am just not feeling the whole rubble bottom thing. I want to see this in person because I bet it looks better than in the pictures. Sorry. Just being honest.

OUCH!

Great start Ramiro....I think you have plenty of rubble
Since you couldnt cook the rocks longer, make sure your blowing around the rubble every day for as long as you can. Use a filter sock if you have one. If not, your going to end up with alot of Detritus buildup and problems. Rock sheds alot in the beginning.
Oh yeah, I cant really tell from the pic, but can you cave up that left pile a bit more?

if you can finish painting, get it home, plumb and put some water and get rocks you might get it to look 10 times better.

i am liking it even more just because your not feeling it.

I tell you what, I like the rubble bottom. There's no worries with fallen snails or frags. Hell, plant the bottom in zoas and let 'em rip, then sell the frags to fund a new car!

 

[DrPeaches]

The rubble thing is way cool. And a sandbox too!

(note to self: find a way to top this.)

He is just jealous. He has 13 tanks in his house and not one of them is intentionally a rubble bottom


p.s. If anyone has a tank for sale Rendos is looking for one to set a "New Orleans" style tank:fun2:

I only have 5 right now...thank you very much.

How is your freshwater tank going? Lots of neon tetras and corydoras? I just can't believe you have a 120 gallon with 2 closed loop pumps, sump, skimmer, MH lighting and such for neons...what's up with that?
