What are you going to use as a base for the zoa's, besides the main stack?
Or were you hoping they'd grow on the glass for easy harvesting/fragging?

Default Aquascaping

Well I got a start on the aquascaping.

It was/is my intention to have the main structure solid and permanent. Most of it was connected using 1/2" acrylic tubing. Each rock was drilled using a
1/2" massonary bit. I was very surprised at how easy it was to drill the rock. FYI - if your going to do this - I bought the cheapest bit ($8.00) I could find at Canadian tire and it was a breeze.

I have a glass bottom at the time but will be going to sand in the near future.

West View



South View



Couple of closet ups





Zoa garden - I'm not finished with this yet - what I see in my mind is not what I see in my tank. Best thing for Zoas for growth is to put them where you want them and don't move! Over the next week I will get it how I want it.



One on my clams



Clowns Buddy



As I already said I am not totaly done but it is a good start.

Next on the list:

1 - finish plumbing

2 - trim the top ledge in maple

3 - build canopy and cover overflow to wall.

4 - think of whats going to be next

One thing about this hobby a person can always find something to work on. Then when you think you have it all complete - time for a bigger tank

So what do you all think?

Jeff

great job on the move! I know exactly how stressful, messy and potentially demoralizing it can be! I think you executed it wonderfully!

Also, great job on the aquascaping!

Ya this is temporary!

As I said I went into panic mode as I thought my fish were in danger. I gathered all the plumbing I had ans made the best out of it. Even to the poing of wrapping one of the joints with tape as I thought it was going to leak




My overflow only has one pipe coming out of it going to the sump, the other two are just plugged. The coral is in the overflow to protect from my Sailfin which seam to have developed a taste for it



This is a very very special mode - scotch tape for a cap lol.



This is VERY mickey moused



This week I will have the plumbing done and done proper. My over

Jeff just wondering how long did you have the fish out of the old tank before putting them in the new tank? Trying to sort that all out too!
