Thank you

 

I had been waiting eagerly for the tank as I had to break down my previous tank so was tankless for what felt like a lifetime!

Whilst waiting I started the process of cleaning the bones, I bought 20kg of dry rock.

This was jet washed,Bleached,dechlorinated and finally soaked in RO with a reactor and rowaphos, Oh and a mp10.

I then set about the aquascaping

Looks awesome. I've always liked the idea of a drop off tank, but I think mine would have a move severe step between the high and low parts for more dramatic effect. That's just me though :)

 

Where did you get the tank from, and what's the size? The quality looks fantastic.

Evilc66 sorry I missed your comment, I live in the UK and the tank was built by Ocean Dislays.

Looks like they do fine work. Where abouts in in England are you? I'm originally from Tring (in Hertfordshire), but have been in the States for the last 21-ish years.

 

And those Cardinals are probably one of my all time favorite fish. Fantastic picture.

Im in Hampshire about 40 miles south of London,

I am adding some red spots over the weekend.

Also another fish hopefully a pair, they have a face only a mother could love.

Coral crouchers, I kept one before and loved him to bits

 

 

Got a recent fts?

Very interesting tank and scape! Have you considered putting a tall column like formation at the lower level that reaches higher than the rock formation on the higher level? That would create an interesting visual dynamic!
