Wow, that's all I can say. This tank combined with the Cardinal Cube I just saw on Reef Builders really makes you a truly original reefkeeper.

 

Any tips or advice on how to keep rocks together without falling?

 

Thank you.

 

The aquarium should be constantly be stimutating to the eye. What is going to make that cube nice is when the sun corals grow out. The silvery white cardinals with their vertical black stripes against the yellow/orange of the sun corals will look beautiful.

 

For holding the rocks together: either nylon rods or be good at finding the rocks center of balance. You also need to compensate for the added weight of corals on the rock once they grow out. If you are planning to aquascape an aquarium remember the Golden Rule It helps alot out in visually planning it out.

That's one or two sun coral polyps you got going on there!

 

They are two seperate colonies: one in the foreground is Tubastrea aurea and the one behind it is Tubastrea faulkneri.
