ScubaRyan Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Good looking tank so far, hopefully i catch up today when my LR gets here...not sure about the scape, I got an idea with just the dry rock, but we'll see whenver the LR shows up. How many lbs of sand did you put in? Also, did you superglue/epoxy your rock together? Link to comment
cees Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 I did 10 lbs of sand. They sell them in bags already i cant remember the name. And its funny with scapes because every time i do a scape outside the tank then try and duplicate it in the tank it never comes out the same! Lol Link to comment

cees Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Its here!!! Sorry for the pics coming out sideways i had my ipad a took quick pics All is in and waiting to clear up, next step is to get some live stok put a special order at elite reef for a yasha+pistol shrimp Link to comment
ScubaRyan Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Looks like my exact order minus the purigen and add another order of filter floss. Does the media basket cover the overflow hole? The splashing noise is annoying and filling it so it doesnt means any filter media would mostly be bypassed. Link to comment
cees Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Once i instaled my basket the only thing i hear is my mj900 and thats not loud at all lol Link to comment
ScubaRyan Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Lol thats good then, my order arrives on Monday, ill still be cycling though for a while longer Link to comment

ScubaRyan Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 My order from StevieT comes in tomorrow... Not that i can add any of it.. But still! Link to comment
cees Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 I addedit as soon as i got it just a have my water ready for watever i wanted to add lol and cuz i didnt want to see just sitting there. Link to comment
ScubaRyan Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Did you block off the overflow hole? Link to comment
cees Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 No theres no need to. All the water is directed into the basket and flows pretty good Link to comment
ScubaRyan Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hmm i guess that makes sense.. It would only be the initial water when you first put it in that wouldnt have run through the media, but it would after that. Is there any non toxic marker that i could use to make a fill line with since the one on the side doesnt matter? Link to comment
cees Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Ummm am not to sure? Where would u b making the marks?? I just use the high and low marks on the side. Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 pffft! new tanks are always exciting! no matter what! do you have any plans as to what direction you want to go in with stocking? i really like the scape, especially how you have the larger rock set up on that smaller branch. that cave is way neat. Hmm i guess that makes sense.. It would only be the initial water when you first put it in that wouldnt have run through the media, but it would after that. Is there any non toxic marker that i could use to make a fill line with since the one on the side doesnt matter? what about a grease pen. like the ones you use for plumbing. its just wax. doubt it would be harmful.

cees Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Stocking is gana b a yasha goby and a pistol shrimp i had my lfs special order one just waiting for that to come in.. Future plans are mp10, led retro and rkl.. But money is super tight right now lol Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 i read those bits while i was checking out your thread, i meant more of a general theme, biotope, collection local or coral type you were considering. could just be me tho, im one of those obsessive planners. i had my scape, and most of my stocking planned before water ever even touched my tank.

cees Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Lol yea I read all your thread lol am more so of just go with the flow type lol I just want bright colors I love zoas so I'll be doing lots of those maybe a torch coral..
