Nice build! You should take some rocks out of the bottom to get more of a drop off effect.

Gripen you should have the rock at the top and a few scattered pieces on the bottom. Then have a few pieces over hangin like a suspended in mid water and have white sand on the bottom now that would look cool.

I did more aquascaping yesterday and this is exactly what I'm doing.

I made the tower on the deep end a little taller and made tons of caves in it. The middle section is almost empty.

Today and tomorrow I'll work on the drop off and the coral area.

Added 4 KG of sand.

Still need to do more aquascaping above the shelf and hide the pump.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
