Tank Moved - Thanks CF

[Tonynlo]

I moved into my first house this weekend and I have to say Caribbean Forest did an amazing job moving my tank, it was worth every penny! They came in and had the tank torn down, transported and back up within 2 hours. Dan is an artist when it comes to stacking rock. I could have been in there for hours and it wouldn't have even been close to being this clean looking. Now I get to start looking at corals to fill it with!


Picture is from a cell phone just after it was set up, it looks a lot better now. I plan to cover/paint the back once I get some time.

Looks good just keep up on general maint. and things should grow out well. Anything holding that bridge up there?

The bridge is very secure, it's leaning against the back of the glass. I went in there and tested the stability, they all seem to be locked into place. It's on a concrete floor covered with Pergo, so I wont have an issue with floor movement/flexing. I normally don't like to stack against glass because of cleaning, but I am able to lean the rocks out far enough to easily get the scraper behind it. I moved about 1/4 of my rock to the sump and only kept the larger pieces in my tank. I like the open areas more.


Here is a picture of what it looked like with all the rock in there. Ignore the cyano, its a lot better now.

I am extremely happy with the way my tank looks now. I think it gives me a lot of cool places to mount some corals. Once I get my $8000 tax credit I plan to finish off a few rooms and hopefully I have some leftover funds to do some serious coral shipping.

yeah I used to be in the stack as much rock in as you can club too! Have since lessened the LR in an attempt for better flow & I like the way it looks, so bonus.

It was a habit I got into with my cichlid tanks. I used to stack as much shale as I could in order to make a lot of hiding spaces.

I agree I had CF move my tank twice and Dan did a great job with the rock stack. Which is amazing because the water was pretty murky when he did it.

 

[Tonynlo]

Yea, the water was pretty murky for me as well. It's extremely stable for stacking blind.

Looks good! Plenty of room for coral.

Speaking of CF... I need to pop in over there again.
