bwoodward0012 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 wow, i don't see very many arch scapes that look good but i really like yours. Link to comment
Captain Hook Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 wow, i don't see very many arch scapes that look good but i really like yours. Thanks much appreciated! It collapsed several times, and is still in somewhat the same form from when it was in a 10g. Now its puttied together...goodbye rockslides. Very soon Ill be going to get more rock to add on more high spots and fill in some space Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Dig that arch as well... If you added anything, I would like to see rock added under the arch and make it the high points. That arch is too perfect to mess with Link to comment

That arch is too perfect to mess with yea thats a great idea, once i get some rock i'll put some under it. As far as building higher, i was thinking one of the sides to kind of slope down from a top-back corner. Link to comment
Builder Anthony Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Id add some sponges where the rocks meet so it makes them stick together in time from growth Link to comment
Captain Hook Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Very nice looking scape! Thanks all! Ive been rearranging it for honestly 9 months lol now its puttied in place. Doing a DIY LED setup soon. Hoping to incorporate some CREE XT-E RBs, NW, and regular blue, possibly some violet too. I have alot of green montipora capricornis I can hopefully trade frags for new species of SPS in the near future. Living in Canada far away from the ocean, its hard to get some of the prettier species without having to mortgage the house lol. I really need to upgrade some parts of my system though, including an in-sump protein skimmer (any ideas anyone?) and definately the lights. Hanna probes and possibly an apex controller are on the christmast list or until I get a raise lol Also, one lfs here has some electric blue maxi minis Im going to trade my green one for once it splits....still waiting and not interested in trying to splice it...not yet at least.

miniwhinny Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Love your 'scape!!! You don't see arches that long and low too often..it really works! Link to comment
lynxer Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I really dig the simple, minimal'ist scape. Also diggin on the algae turf scrubber, one suggestion though: you should try to widen the flow over the screen, here is a link to a LOT of ATS builds: http://forum.marinedepot.com/Topic89570-4-...t=turf+scrubber Link to comment

Since my cabinet is all acrylic, I'm planning on sealing it off and making a large sump out of the cabinet itself, Im sure itll be able to hold 50+ gallons in there alone. Thanks for the link! I just bought a dremel so I'll be making a wide slotted tube like that one Link to comment
