My nano reef build of cubic dimensions :D

That kind of makes sense. You can't use one of those telescopic scrapers (Kent proscraper II) to reach back there? That said, I have the sneaking suspicion that the pics don't do it justice, because the last one you posted looks good. I think the other thing about the wall that is slightly distracting is that it is too uniform. It lacks some dynamics if you follow me. Maybe if you had some smaller shelf pieces interspersed or broke some of those pieces up it might break up the "checker board" look. Again, trying to be constructive. Please don't take offense ;)

Remember too that it's just a foundation for corals to encrust and grow from. If you look at most successfully tanks, you can barely tell what the original rock work was as the corals have near completely covered it. That's what I'm hoping.

I have one of those telescoping cleaners but I have some doubts if it would allow me to apply the kind of pressure I need to scrape stubborn algae.


One last thing about my pile of rocks. My wife actually approved of it. Can't beat that. I added some rocks I was given tuesday night and she got upset telling me it looked awesome before I "messed it up". Lol.
 
If the wife approved, we should all keep our mouth's shut, LOL! I know when my wife likes something about my tank, its like an internal win for me, haha!

Anyway, looks good either way. Can't wait to see progress. And BTW, seems you beat me and mustacho!
 
Sump construction

Sump construction

The majority of the sump was constructed out of re-purposed acrylic. (Thanks Matt and Matt :thumbsup: )

The final version has an additional baffle prior to the last chamber. Although this is not the design I planned on using. I am pretty satisfied with how it turned out.

Looks shweeeet! I bet the pictures don't do it justice. It doesn't look like a 240g from the picture but I'm sure its a monster tank!
 
Its is. I'm treating my display tank hypo and chloroquine after losing the majority of my fish :(

Can't stress the importance of qt of your livestock.
 
Sorry to hear. Love these dimensions. Any pics of your final rock work? Should look nice all colored up. Keep us in the loop!

I'll try to take one between watching frozen, tangled, Mickey Mouse, doc mc stuffins and now playing tea party. Lol

I don't think it has changed much from the last pics. At one point it was very purple. But chloroquine phosphate is also an algaecide plus the lack of light has changed all that.
