My 300 gallon Drop Off Reef Tank Build

[Gripenfelter]

Added all the fish and rock...now I have to aquascape it.

So far so good. False Perc Clowns swam up and inspected the black clowns but then swam away. No aggression.

Do your fish look really tiny in all that space now

So far they are only using the deep end of the tank and only going 3/4 up. I guess they are still used to the old tank.

thats kinda interesting.......hopefully for you, the fish find the upper part of the tank......but I guess if you think of their natural environment, very few of our fish would be caught dead in water as shallow as our tanks.....kinda makes sense for them to relate to the deepest part of the tank

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.

Slowly getting there...
