vash028 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Well 4 hours, water every where and 2 pruned hands the move from the 29 to the 75 is done. The lighting is just temporary tell i get my DIY 72 led kit in but it will work for now and the corals will be OK. What do u think so far? better pics will come later. Link to comment
vash028 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 This is the final scape what do u think also sad new my yellow coarse wrasse might have been a casualty in the rock scaping think he dove under the sand to hide and i moved a rock on top of him i think : ( but they do hide so ill give him another day. So what do you think of the scape? Link to comment
Mini-Dude Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Very nice island consept. I like it. Link to comment
vash028 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Thanks ya the island on the left isnt a good shot...the island is on like stiltz and is all the way open. Link to comment
Mini-Dude Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You got lots of potential coral space! Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Looks good, I'd take that little rock in the middle and move it to the right and open up that middle space though. Link to comment
vash028 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Here is the right island the lower shot. And my goofy tailspot in his shell. Link to comment
1fishmonger Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Are the islands secured with fiberglass rods or anything like that? Scapes that high make me a little nervous with no support. The island on the left looks awesome, very dynamic with ledges and caves. The one on the right is a little boring IMHO Link to comment
Mini-Dude Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I like the caves also. Link to comment
vash028 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Ya same here and in the middle do you think both pieces should be moved to the right ? or just the tall piece? Link to comment
