jbb Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Holy cow! lol everything pretty much died after my move except for the one clam the kat helped me save. I also have a couple of Lobos , some palys , and a hammer coral, but everything else is gone. When I had issues with the clam we decided that my system was stripped of all of the nutrients since I changed all of the water when I moved. so I just left the tank alone, waited until my lights were squared away, let the system dirty up, and pretty much took a step back and let it run. I would do top off, 5 gallon water change here and there, but nothing major. Link to comment
jbb Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 placed an order for some acrylic rods today, 3/8 & 1/4" . Hopefully I can get some scaping done in the next week or two. Tank is 48Lx20Wx21T , I'm open to suggestions on the scape. I only have fiji to work with, so I cant get too crazy. Hammers & chisels are at the ready. Link to comment
markalot Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Too clean, looks unnatural. Might as well be fake corals. Link to comment

markalot Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 You looked through all the featured reefs? I prefer more of a chaotic look, but that's just me. WaWaWang MasterMind (probably the most artsy fartsy of the tanks I like) Imsky Asureef flsvedlund Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 What he had before looked like a cascading rock pile like some of those you posted Mark. He might be looking for more structure, more definition, hence the acrylic rods. placed an order for some acrylic rods today, 3/8 & 1/4" .

He might be looking for more structure, more definition, hence the acrylic rods. I like those. My main thing is to have more definition in my scape. I want a more 3D look to the tank instead of the 2D rock wall that I seem to always end up with. I am a fan of the minimalist scaping, but I'm not dead set on going that route. ima need a 10 inch piece of that 3/8"..... You got it . Link to comment
Illuiix Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm really liking this That tank is super clean. BUT really? A blue tang that big? lol Link to comment
jbb Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 That tank is super clean. BUT really? A blue tang that big? lol Wasn't going for an EXACT replica. LOL just the rox Link to comment
jbb Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Did a lot of cleaning today . vaccum sand scrape glass 25g water change So the rocks are sort of just tossed about. You can see that I'm pretty much working with boulders which really sucks. Maybe I can snag some tonga or something from the LFS next weekend. I really want to hide that damn overflow box, it is made of textured ABS and you can't scrape it clean. https://flic.kr/p/nKNrLr'> Link to comment

Lawnman Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm really liking this I'm really liking this That picture is Sonny's be prepared to pay out the nose for posting it . He had that Hippo for YEARS one day it jumped and he found it to late. He was really bummed for months. Link to comment
Veng Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The big difference between these is the slenderness of the rocks, i.e. their thin in 1 direction rather than just boulders. Not sure if he's glued together a bunch of rubble or what. Good looking for sure. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 That tank is super clean. BUT really? A blue tang that big? lol He had it from a baby and upgraded 2 times for that hippo. So don't always assume people just add big fish. That tank B posted was over 150 gallons. Second upgrade Then he upgraded to over 300 for the Hippo and it jumped. Link to comment
