Man that's a sexy fixture.

 

[rodneyri]

Old tank gone now just one more sleep to go then the new tank arrives!

Looks good

 

[rodneyri]

Such an easy move today, we were all surprised how easy it was to move such a large tank...its in place now and no damage. Finished plumbing, gluing the last bits of the scape, programmed profilux and glued on the weir. Will fill up with water next weekend :thumbsup:

Looking great man. Now just want to see a bunch of corals in there.

 

[reefmutt]

That is NICE!!!

 

[rodneyri]

Bit of a dilema, playing with the scape deciding if I keep the rock on the bottom right or not....thoughts??

I would make the bottom right overhang a bit longer if I go this way

 

[reefmutt]

I'd say keep it. Slightly more balanced and provides a bit more real estate for a few tabling deep waters...

 

[reefmutt]

Although... Without it, the scape looks seriously like the uss enterprise from Star Trek ck which is damn cool!!!

 

[trueblackpercula]

I think its amazing and leaving some room down the road for a little more growth is perfect.

I was going to suggest you remove at least the far top right plateau when you first posted, but didn't want to come off as critical.

You don't want symmetry.........it's one of the biggest faults I see when people aquascape.

You want a defining area that draws the eyes in (you're upper left area)and not a situation where everything looks the same.

Removing at bit from the top right and extending the lower area sounds like a good plan.

You could also make the lower area wider to even create more asymmetry............try to picture a capital J formantion if you were going to look from above.

 

[rodneyri]

I guess because I made it removable I can leave it in the sump til I make up my mind, no dont worry about being critical sometimes others views are valid...you know looking at it kinda lose perspective.

This is what I had in mind

 

[Big E]

That looks good.............now to really make the left side stand out, try to have the acros that grow on that side end up being taller than the ones that grow on that right shelf.

 

[rodneyri]

This is the rough plan for coral placement, unlabelled areas will be general SPS

 

[rodneyri]

The rain held out in Sydney so meant quality water could be collected by my mates buisness and delivered to my lil tank :thumbsup: Its been a long day waiting for work to finish and my water to arrive, but we are now finally wet :cheers:

Onto the pics...

Parked right infront of my balcony, threw the hose up and nekminit the tank was full
