Ah, I am sorry about the nem. I always worry about my two and my koralias. They are nano koralias and I don't know if they'd suck a big nem in or not.

 

Your stand is looking very nice.

I like the wide open sand bed in the middle there. Looks great. Sad to see the 20L go but I know that new tank will be awesome.

 

How's the nem doing? Did it make it?

Thanks i plan on having a lot of corals to cover the sand bed like clams and plates :)

 

and ya i am sad to lose the 20 gallon long.. it turned out pretty nice but I have a feeling this one will be better!

 

idk the status on the nem, My 20 long is at my parents house right now awaiting to be transferred to this tank once it cycles.

Really like this scape. Looking forward to seeing it fill up. :)

The scape looks great. I bet you enjoyed more than 12" deep to work with for the rock. Clams and plates will look awesome on the sand.

Thanks man! and yes the extra 5 inches works wonders lol. I might be making an Acan garden on the sand bed also

 

these are very nice photo. what camera phone (iphone perhaps) did you use that gave you these amazing photo may I ask?

thanks

 

Thank you I used a canon 7D with a canon 100mm 2.8 macro, canon 50mm 1.2, Tokina 11-16mm 2.8, Canon 35mm 2.0

did you have plans for the stand? or did you just wing it?

 

Kind of had plans and then those changed lol. so I kind of just winged it haha

all the corals are in! I made the move last night. everything is pissed off pretty much haha but i didnt have anything die on me. I will post some pictures later today when things open up more

Love that scape! Can't wait to see all the corals get placed

 

 

YES

 

 

Well all my corals hate their lives right now haha but everything seems to be a live. the only problem i am seeing is in my green tip hammer head, some of the skin is like going away towards the base... i hope it survives.

 

i need to move a few things around im sure, and make the background black.

Congrats on the transfer! I love the rockwork.

 

Suddenly that bubble doesn't look so massive.



Any pics of the whole setup? I want to see what the finished stand looks like
