14gal nano reef
 
well a couple weeks ago i bought dougs nano tank and lights, and so starts my story with the tank. i quickly got to work redoing a ten gal stand i had, to accommodate the larger tank. then it was off to the shed to dig out my frozen live rock that i had from previous tanks, and then filling with salt water. which brings me to where iam now. the rock has been curing in the tank since monday this week and here are some pics

iam not sold on the rock work yet but let me know what you think

looks good, but if i were you i would either make an arch between the 2 piles,
or make the rock extend almost to the front of the tank so it looks almost like a canyon.

what skimmer are you using i wondering what would fit in the back of a rsm. without going with that tiny bio cube skimmer.

Looks Good. IMO i would leave the rock scape as is and try to find a nice flat piece to canopy the gap between rock. just give you a nice ledge for more coral:mrgreen:

Looks good Derek. Right on seeing it set up already and the skimmer just a perkin.

El, the skimmer is a mini Octopus, designed for the nano by SWC.

I like version two better. Lots of good spots for coral placement when the time comes
