treygarz Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Up and running at the same time! I hate playing with rocks too. I think only geologists have fun with that I like the rock work on the right side. I'll def be following along to see how it turns out Link to comment
gmod Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 To much money....And if i bought that it would go on my 29g BC...lol Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Ah you got a different tank after that biocube cracked? Link to comment
gmod Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yea it was one of those impulse buys...saw it at petsmart. Decided it doesnt work out i will just make a planted freshwater tank... Up and running at the same time! I hate playing with rocks too. I think only geologists have fun with that I like the rock work on the right side. I'll def be following along to see how it turns out Will my plan is the left side to be more of a zoa garden/mushroom the right side more light loving corals maybe a sps or 2...I want a lot of GSP. in this tank..Cause I love the green grass look that ive seen some tanks...

gmod Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Can yall give me some recommendations on Number and type of fish and how many and what type CUC to use this? Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 for CUC, consult with John at reefcleaners.org, he is awesome Fish: gobies, blennies. You could keep a goby pair with a pistol. Link to comment
Kyclops Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Cool, can't wait to see where it goes. Although, I don't like the rock structure on the left, if I'm being honest Link to comment
gmod Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Should i build it up some more...I was kind of thinking it looked a little dwarfed Link to comment
gmod Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Ok redid it AGAIN!! Found a nice rock in the junk bucket for the left side...then decided to try the 2 tier thingy... Any better any worse... Link to comment
CLR Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I personally like the new scape u made better than the first, I like a lot of rock work like caves and whatnot. I may have missed it but did u say what kinds of coral u will have? Link to comment
gmod Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Mostly zoa/mushrooms/Acans/Lots Of Gsp And a few SPS at the very end... Link to comment
treygarz Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I like the dual islands. Looks nice! Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 maybe you could find a flat shelf piece that would connect the two islands at the very top? make a nice ledge for SPS or something Link to comment
gmod Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I thought about that...its gonna have a to be a nice piece to look right...I had a smaller piece but it just didnt look right.. Link to comment
GioReef Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 hmmm i don't know... i think i liked the first scape better the second looks good also, entirely your choice though! oh and whatever you go with, make sure it's stable. epoxy pieces together if you need to also Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 yes you're going to have to go huntin' Link to comment
gmod Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Ok i think iam gonna roll with this let the tank cycle...see how it goes once its time for coral..I just basically moved the left rock around (seemed like 30 times)..I like how the 2 islands slightly touch in the middle... Hope this is NanoReef approved... Link to comment
treygarz Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 looks good. I kinda like that little hole/cave on the left side Link to comment
gmod Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I do to..I just thought the left side needed something to out to catch your eye... Link to comment
Lawnman Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I liked the first scape better. But I always go against the norm someone once told me. Link to comment
gmod Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 LOL...Well it might just turn out like that once coral time comes... Link to comment
Kyclops Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Just remember, you have to look at it everyday, you might as well set it up how you want it, not how we want it! It's alot easier to move it before you have fish and coral and everything in there too! Link to comment
