TheKleinReef Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Is it tomorrow yet? Oops. I haven't even thought about checking it. I'll do some editing today. He left I have the pics, just need to get them up. 2 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 FTS 12-28 by Roger Klein, on Flickr Rescaping turned out to be a massive disaster. pretty much took 10 seconds to knock off the entire red cap colony. I tried my best to re mount the beast but it snapped in two during that ordeal. As a result I mounted a large section of it near the green cap on the left side of the tank. I also boosted up that rock by adding in a piece of real reef rock underneath. I like how it's now taller than the island in the foreground. The other piece is still on the center island, which got a 6" lift and a cave constructed underneath to allow more routes for the fish to take. The corals on the sand bed really irritate me, but I didn't really have anywhere else to put them. I also took out 3 anemones, which actually kick started this whole ordeal. 8 Quote Link to comment

Don't be so hard on yourself. The tank still looks pretty good to me. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yours better behaved? As far as I know he's a model citizen. I haven't seen him pick at the pests though. Don't be so hard on yourself. The tank still looks pretty good to me. Thanks man, It was just frustrating not being able to mount the monti again, I've had the monti growing on that rock undisturbed for over a year and one carless smack and it went crack** 1 Quote Link to comment

Well, maybe it will grow into an even better formation than what it was. 2 Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Katropora is king of the hill. I like the new scape, looks good! 2 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 I debated on dropping the front left island down but the flowerpot is attached to it, so I decided to leave it. The glass is messy, but oh well. I'm sure my parents will clean it up. They're better with it than I am. Haha Katropora is king of the hill. I like the new scape, looks good! She sure is! Hopefully it does well a bit closer to the lights. New scape looks good! Thanks arce! Did you decide if you're gonna sump that awesome tank of yours? Yeah, I get your frustration about that. Well, maybe it will grow into an even better formation than what it was. That's the plan! The middle monti was not cooperating and I ran out of super glue so it's sort of just balancing there. :/ 1 Quote Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 that's about how it goes for me too- go to do a little rearranging and then the whole thing goes to hell?. tank looks great though- you have lots of coral in there ? 2 Quote Link to comment
