Thanks you, I got the aquascaping pretty much done tonight yea for me! Also added sand, which is a swtch for me as I have always had a glass bottom tank.

the power switch was purchased at Mothers Music in calgary - I love it!

ahh, 2am Aquascaping sessions.. fun! :-) but where are the pics?????

Fragzilla · #3 03-10-2010, 08:24 AM

one main structure wasn't enough

- i did say that what I had in my mind and what I saw didn't match!

I will be posting a pic or two tomorrow, it will take a bit for the tank to clear after the sand storm

Well the dust has settled after adding the sand. It has been years since I have had a sand bottom tank and I really like it, it reflects the light very nice. My fish and other things thought it was pretty good too!

I am now pretty much done the aquascaping. I added another structure and got the zoa garden in place. As time goes on I will go higher on the
2nd structure and will fill in the zoa garden as I get more.

Here are a few pics of how it sits tonight.

I also got started on the return plumbing, its pretty much complete i was just short a couple of elbows.

I like!

The 2nd rock-pile does balance it nicely and I see you went with a fairly deep layer of sand - Is that almost 2" ?

Are you going to go with a clean-up crew, gravel-vac or combination of the two?

Pity its going to take the fish a month to get used to the new light schedule, I see you posted the pics at ~3:30am.

Looks amazing Jeff,

I really love, love, love, how you have done the aquascaping and your coral placement.

Okay you can come help me now, pretty please with a cherry on top.

Thanks Vic - the sand bed is just a skiff, should have 1-2 pounds per gallon which in my case would be 120 - 240 pounds , there is 40 pounds in my tank now and that is the way it's going to stay. Clean up crew - yes.
