Thanks

Its going to be a mixed reef. I dont have much planned out at the moment. The cycle is amost done. Amm is 0, nitite is 0 and Nitrate is about 15mg/l. I am currently torn between the rock the way it is and trying to do a "reef wall" like I have seen in a few threads. I think they look awsome.

Sorry to hear about your tank. For what it's worth, I voted for Aquascape #3.

To be honest, I'm not too thrilled with the aquascaping in your new tank. I like the "archway" in the middle of the tank, but I think that the rocks are too big. I think that big rocks in a little tank look weird. Also, it doesn't look like you will have much room for corals.

By the way, kudos to you for setting up this poll. I think that it was a great idea and a lot of fun. Also, I learned a lot from reading everyone's justification for their favorite aquascape.

Thanks for the input and im glad to stir debate and new ideas. I too am concerned with the rock size. One thing I really like about nanos is when the smaller rocks make it look like a large tank. My be time to get out the hammer and chisel.

thats what i did, I'd definatly get the big ol one on the right. With that one down, its just up to some of the mid-level ones, you want one or two "large" but no XL. I wen't through this in my nano cube...

 

[rick051074]

Sounds like I get to have some fun tomorrow.

I would cange the new aquascaping too, you really shouldn't have it touching the glass. It's going to be a PITA to clean so you will have algae buildup on the glass, it will start looking nasty.

I really thought this poll was cool, i voted for #5

Wow, nice comment. I guess one could also say that people who buy live rock are too lazy to wait six months for the "sh*t rock" as you call it, to become live rock. To each his own, but I think the tank looks good "Mr. Lazy". Any updates?

 

[rick051074]

Not much to update, I will try to get some new pics. What I decided to do was break the rock down a little and get it off the back wall. I have added a few more fish and corals I will try to get pics up in the coming days.

Sounds good.
