Sick tank! Love the scape. Mind telling me what you used to secure all the rock together? Hope I can have a mixed reef like that some day.

Thank you. :)

 

I used schedule 40 PVC and zip ties. I drilled the pvc to make it easy to mount the marcorock with the zip ties, this allowed me to use rocks that wouldnt support themselves.I mocked up the rockscape outside the tank to get a cavelike look then moved it into the tank as one piece. Then I used the rubble Marco rock as frag plugs as needed to fill in the scape. Thank you again for the compliment.

 

How did I miss this thread!?!?!

Time to start from the begin!

 

 

:D

Wow your tank is spectacular! How do you like the gramma? Aggression wise?

 

 

The Gramma is quite aggressive but she can't really do any damage because all she does is open her mouth and bump it against the other tankmates. It is quite funny to see.. the clowns kinda laugh it off and the sixline eggs her on. Thank you for the nice comment :)

Just didn't do well... loss of tissue. I think was in a stressed state and then moving it to another tank just put the last nail in coffin. No worries... that is just the name of the game..

Finally got the two nems at the bottom left of the tank out. One moved saturday night then they were stinging the crap out of my new chalice the Sunday morning. The chalice looked like it was going to recover but last night and today it was completely herniated and blistered... had to toss it. Didn't even get a pic yet..

Actually It looks like I got one pic in the last set... wasn't too sharp so I didn't include it before
