EddieW Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Still got a bit of a diatom problem, but gradually backing off. Water params are good (0 amm & nitrite, nitrates low). Added an auto top up system at the weekend to keep levels correct. Got some ceriths arriving on Wednesday, then I might be ready for the first fish (woo hoo!). Thanks for any feedback.

wetworx101 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I dont know about needing more rocks...I kinda dig his aquascaping as is. I can see a colony of clams residing on that front sandy patch...or a jawfish. I like the rockwark. Link to comment
colemanitis Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Looks good! The aquascaping is a bit too 'vertical' for my liking. I've always preferred a more sloped approach - it leaves more room for mounting coral. Link to comment
EddieW Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 Thank you for all the feedback. I was planning to leave most of the space at the front as I was under the impression that there should be 6" or so of clear live sand - it this something that applies more to the larger reef setups? I currently have about 26 or so pounds of LR in there - all from different sources, some of it bought for the shrooms, xenia, etc. It isn't obvious from the picture but it does slope a bit. On the left hand side the LR comes right up to the glass. There is a bit of space at the right so I might add some more there. I am not sure how much coral I will be going for - the lighting (at 2 x 36w PC) is not bright enough for a lot and definitely not enough for clams AFAIK. Once again, thanks for the feedback.
