Reworked my scape, added sandy bottom

I had trouble with rock stability issues and I went ahead and reworked my scape. I wanted to add sand too--I want creatures that like sand. I used 3/4" starboard and 1/2" fiberglass rod. I removed all the corals to my QT, and removed all the rock to buckets. I drilled and stacked. Plunked it in the tank and added sand. It looks deeper than it is since there is a big chunk of starboard under it. I have some chunks of rubble I will fill in the gaps where you can see the rod. I had stuffed some in there and it looked good. Too pooped to monkey with it any more, so I took them out so they would not fall out.

 

 

Here is what it used to look like. Not enough room for anything, just a big pile of unstable rocks. This was from late last year.

Looks pretty sweet. What are your stocking plans?

 

Thanks. I dunno. I can't make up my mind! Maybe a mantis...
