Aquascape Sharing RSM c250

[Dresden]

Hi Everyone,

Very very slowly preparing for a swap from my Nano Cube 28g to a RSM C-250. I wanted to show off my Aquascape that's I've been noodling with for almost a month now. I did a 3D scan with my iPad and a few pics.

BRS mentioned sharing aquascapes and pics were hard to visualize so I wanted to try to capture in 3D. I'm using an iPad Pro to scan it in 3D. The major difference is I just swap the left and right structures.

Anyways, thought this was fun and wanted to share.

either one, both look really good.

i like the 2 island stacked designer kinda look.
thats how my 180 at home is set up as well.

One thing I realized after a few iterations was to account for 2-3" of sand. I ended raising everything up a few times because of that.

Wow thats cool man.

Aesthetically, B has a nicer flow to it.

Now let's get that tank wet!

I kept changing between version A and B so many times that a few pieces came apart suddenly.

The good news was that I was able to improve it further after the accident. I added a bunch of small caves, nooks and tunnels. I strive for healthy bio diversity with copepods and bristleworms. I also lost one leg of the structure on the left but is stable without it. Rather than reattach it I figured this should allow room for additional islands.

I really like Zoa, GSP, Xenia ect and this will be mostly a softie and LPS tank so islands will likely be a big help. I will need to get the islands higher up off the sand because the sand sifting goby is relentless.

I suspect it will take about 4 - 6 more weeks before I can get the RSM c250 moved and setup upstairs. To keep things moving I just setup a 30g downstairs and the rock is soaking now with a pump for a few days. I'll replace most of the water every day for 2-3 days. I'll then add the salt water and start the rock cycling.

Picked up some Fritz PRO - Ammonium Chloride and Brightwell Aquatics MicroBacter7

Thanks for the support and advice!

Starting to plan what corals go where.. not sure where the anemone(s) will go yet. They split so often that I might sell/trade the lot of them. Up to 6 now and at least they stay together in one spot.

Would love some thoughts and feedback if this is understandable.
