araziza Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 That tank loks awesome... Quote Link to comment
zoaddict Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thank you I had been waiting eagerly for the tank as I had to break down my previous tank so was tankless for what felt like a lifetime! Whilst waiting I started the process of cleaning the bones, I bought 20kg of dry rock. This was jet washed,Bleached,dechlorinated and finally soaked in RO with a reactor and rowaphos, Oh and a mp10. 10565099_319284894912140_4289189362459769249_n by Sea Wookie, on Flickr I then set about the aquascaping Day 1 DSC_5233 by Sea Wookie, on Flickr DSC_5234 by Sea Wookie, on Flickr 1 Quote Link to comment
evilc66 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Looks awesome. I've always liked the idea of a drop off tank, but I think mine would have a move severe step between the high and low parts for more dramatic effect. That's just me though Where did you get the tank from, and what's the size? The quality looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment

DSC_4675 by chopsie326, on Flickr Looks like they do fine work. Where abouts in in England are you? I'm originally from Tring (in Hertfordshire), but have been in the States for the last 21-ish years. And those Cardinals are probably one of my all time favorite fish. Fantastic picture.

Im in Hampshire about 40 miles south of London, I am adding some red spots over the weekend. Also another fish hopefully a pair, they have a face only a mother could love. Coral crouchers, I kept one before and loved him to bits Got a recent fts? DSC_7936 by chopsie326, on Flickr This was taken a week or so ago, Im clearing the lower sand bed. The tank is a 3x2x2 9 Quote Link to comment
Axiomatic Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Very interesting tank and scape! Have you considered putting a tall column like formation at the lower level that reaches higher than the rock formation on the higher level? That would create an interesting visual dynamic!

zoaddict Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi and thank you, No I have not, I want a clean looking lower sand bed with only a few nice lps. DSC_7942 by chopsie326, on Flickr 12 Quote Link to comment
