amiralisomji Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hi everyone, Just got some Indonesian LR from the LFS - I'm convinced its too big for an IQ5. Approx 5 lbs of live rock total. What do you guys think? Your comments and suggestions would be great, thank you. Link to comment
jimbro Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 looks ok to me if not, take a hammer to it Link to comment
Woogalie Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Yeah!! Break it! Hammer and chizzel my nizzle Link to comment
gdlyorchi Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I think it good enough, that depend on how much space you want for your live stock but so far looks good! Link to comment
amiralisomji Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 looks ok to me if not, take a hammer to it already did. it was a lot bigger. managed to chizzle my palm in the process too i guess im just fishing (no pun intended) for what you pros think, or would do differently.

kcffwhite Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Looks cool ! But not many places to sit your corals on! Maby break rock and stack like a pimp. Link to comment

castiel Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I think it's an awesome piece. Nice flat back against the back wall, lots of holes for your fish and crabs to explore, and for corals to be inserted into, and still a fair bit of space at the front to add larger pieces attached to rock already. I would keep it ... but then I think I put too much rock in my IQ5 so maybe someone else should advise =0p By the way ... the stick on thermometer, I made the same mistake ... but they are useless. Looking forward to seeing another IQ in action! Link to comment
Catbus Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 That would look awesome with various montis on it I think.. The rock looks awesome in general actually. Link to comment
amiralisomji Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 so i changed things a little. took the rock out, took a hammer to it again thinking i'll shave a few centimeters off, and BOOM, a large chunk fell off anyways, took a piece of the broken bit and used that as a base for the larger one - i think it worked out pretty well - what do you guys think? seems like theres more space for corals now. any other suggestions?

tylernt Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 These are small tanks, don't be afraid to stuff them to the brim with LR. Once stocked they look fantastic: http://www.nano-reef.com/featured/?tank=47 Link to comment
