Well thank god for epoxy and PVC! Finished the aquascape (for now:biggrin:). All of it being fairly strong with one shelf piece being the exception. Im going to leave it for the time being as I would like to raise it another couple of inches or so. After i got it all in the tank I knew that I was going to need 20 some odd more lbs. But I will add that slowly down the road as I find the pieces that I think I need. Love to hear what every one thinks, and suggestions if there are any. First time aquascaping with LR, i found the driftwood to be easier heh.

Sorry about the picture quality, the $70 camera just cant hold its own when it comes to glass, water... air. A half decent camera is on my list down the road. Im going to hopefully get the sand in tonight.

Look awesome. Lots of open area which will help with circulation and will be great for the fish to swim through. Tons of spots for corals. I look forward to seeing some livestock in there.:biggrin:

I really like that aquascape.. but I'm a sucker for swim throughs.. :mrgreen:

Look forward to see it with sand too! :wink:

looks friggen awesome!

Thanks, cant wait for something. I doubt I will ever be that excited about a snail ever again in my life!

Thanks Josh, I was lucky enough to see Dougs tank before I did this. I was able to get some ideas . I have the sand outside in bucket with the hose stuck down the middle, waters still pretty murky but hopefully not long.

Glad everyone thinks so, thanks a lot! I wasn't crazy about it while I was stacking it all up, but I just sat in front of the tank for 30 minutes or so and it grew on me. Ill hold my judgment until I get the sand in there :mrgreen:.

Tested some of the water perameters:

SG - 1.025
pH - 8.0
NO2 - < 0.3 PPM
NH3/4 - 0 PPM

I managed to get the aragonite in tonight, 50lbs of dry select with 10lbs of live sand. Still fairly cloudy but nothing close to what it was.

Much better.

I like it. I really like the overlap on the left hand side of the overflow, where there is a large piece of rock at the back, and one towards the front from the other island of rock overlapping it (and the sand rising towards the back). Gives it a feeling of depth... nicely done!

Really nice aquascaping!! I like how open it is. Now the wait starts for the live stock and cycles.

diggin the center rockwork...
looks great.
