Well after adding some 100 more lbs of live rock, and a PVC Rack, I finally finished my rock work.

You all remember the 2 island, then the rock wall, and now this.

I think I probably lost 5g of water of taking some much rock and rearanging, but now I have much more room for frags and such.

Now my question. How can I hide that tubing in the pic?

Im guessing break some LR and glue it? But with what? What can go on to that tubing and strong enough to hold LR Rubble?


So what do you think? Time to start adding frags!:D
Picture do no justice Im only using a 36 inch fixture PC lighting from an old set up. Ill be getting my MH in the weekend...Yay!
My Rock work is 22 inches high all the way... With a 1.5ft cave and more cool stuff.

what's that holding the cave up?
you know it looks good now but when you get corals you're gonna realize that having your rocks that high causes you to lose a lot of real estate. I have mine only half way up to allow corals to grow.
oh yeah another thing. clean the back panel! dont get lazy....trust me it looks a 100X better than coralline.
 
PVC Rack. I made it so that I can disarm easily underwater sice my tank is braced.

Yea those pics are weird looking, the 2 islands that were originaly there is where Ill put my sps since its pretty low.

As for the panel? What needs to get clean? what, where, who, when?!:confused: You cant even see a back panel in my tank?:eek1:
 
freddog is that you Freddy? Whats up man...Thats your rock there and some stuff I had lying around, sweet huh.

John: My back pane is so clean thats the reflection of the sand, I keep my stuff tighty;)
 
Sam,

Just be patient. Get an awesome zoo frag and use super glue gel to attach it to the middle of the rack that is showing. Allow time and that will end up being the best colony you have.
 
If you were close and didnt hate everyone outside of L.A. for living so far I would hook you up, but being how your a high school student and thriving in the reef world; you have much more to learn danielson! HAHAHA!
 
Hard Work baby;), endless hours on Ebay, and sell/trade forum:lol:...

The only new things that go into my tank that are new are newused products:p.
 
Hi,

I would agree with John, your rocks do seem a little high, you may want the real estate later for sps. :)

Also, most fishes, tend to swim over rocks.

Disregard if you're into corals that don't require lights.
 
Hey yea, I took johns advice I made the acrc way smaller my tank is 23.5 high I have the highest point at 19 down to around 12 inches high I like it alot better.
