got the design last weekend, have to catch-up on two projects for a store in calgary for their display tanks than it is on to your sumps, hopefully in about a week and a half

thanks dave

Let me know, can't wait to see the finished product

Well I put in the base rock, placement is not final, and I'm looking for opinions. I don't think I will be adding much more rock than what is in there at the moment, maybe another 60-70 lbs to seed. I figure there is about 150-160 lbs in there now.
Please, let me know what you think, be honest, I am open to suggestions. I think the highest the rock goes is about 12" off the bottom, leaving about 10" of free swimming room around the centre overflow. There are a lot of open spots in the sand as well, I think I have a decent base to work with, but sometimes someone else has a better idea. Thanks.

very nice im jealous

I'm sorry if I missed it but when you made your overflow rock formation what kinda foam did you use? I have made one the same using rc as my reference but everything I put in there dies. Are you planning on soaking it for a bit or doing any kind of waiting period etc? Thanks and nice tank.

Cool. Are the rods going to be exposed? Or do you plan to cover them with rubble or something?

Interesting idea Bob with the acrylic rods, but am I the only one that can't see any sand?!?

Looks really cool, can't wait to see mire.

I like the display:biggrin:.very interesting I would place some sand to cover those acrylics.I think one or two more rocks to make a cave on the right side of this photo.

Ya Bob where is the sand you are talking about I dont see it either :lol: I think it looks cool & a great idea. I also wondering about the rods? I would think that with water in the are almost un-noticeable.
