Jacobnano Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 YES. Looks great! That is going to make an awesome scape. Also, the house looks pretty cool too Link to comment
BadCrab Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 That's a really nice looking piece of VidaRock! Makes me wish I had gone with something pre-formed instead of relying on my (lacking) artistic ability. What livestock are you planning? Link to comment
Rehype Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 AWWWW snap hes back! Cant wait to see what you do with this beauty dave! Link to comment

That is going to make an awesome scape. Also, the house looks pretty cool too Thanks, Jacob! That's a really nice looking piece of VidaRock! Makes me wish I had gone with something pre-formed instead of relying on my (lacking) artistic ability. What livestock are you planning? I'm really happy with the way it turned out! AWWWW snap hes back! Cant wait to see what you do with this beauty dave! Well, I'm certain it won't even be an 1/8th as good as any of your tanks, 'Hype!!! Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Wow that looks great! If you are in a hurry you might try Caribsea Seaflor Special Grade Reefsand and maybe mix in some sugarsand with it. Link to comment
BadCrab Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 For what it's worth, I ordered the Tropic Eden Miniflakes from PA (since Reeflakes were out of stock, like you said) and I'm really happy with the substrate. One bag seemed to fill my Solana just right (assuming you want enough substrate for a jawfish, pistol shrimp, etc) Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Dave I'm excited for you bro! Looking awesome! Link to comment
Lawnman Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 No reef flakes my friend. Jeremy said around the 10th of May. Link to comment
eddiecorrea Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 No reef flakes my friend. Jeremy said around the 10th of May. Yet you wouldn't pickup my stuff. Asshole. Good to see aqua-tecture is shipping. Their site had been down for several months. Link to comment

One bag seemed to fill my Solana just right (assuming you want enough substrate for a jawfish, pistol shrimp, etc) Thanks for the advice! Hmmm... Jawfish might be nice! Dave I'm excited for you bro! Looking awesome! Thanks! No reef flakes my friend. Jeremy said around the 10th of May. Damn Jeremy!!! Oh well... Thanks for checking man!!! Yet you wouldn't pickup my stuff. Asshole. Good to see aqua-tecture is shipping. Their site had been down for several months. Yes it is... It's hit or miss when then have pieces available. Link to comment
BadCrab Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Just so you know, I ended up buying a VidaRock centerpiece and frag rack today for my Solana. Something something flattery? Link to comment

davidr2340 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 The black plexi arrived. I'll be cutting that to size, and attaching it to the back wall. I want the back wall clean, and to stay black! This should help with that! Also pulled the trigger on a used MP10w ES! Thanks, reefriot! Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Can't wait to see how you cut and put it on the back. I really hated the back wall of the original solana, it was so hard to clean Link to comment
DaveFason Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Whoop! Looking forward to it! Link to comment
