Cencalfishguy56 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Done. Not cloudy, I cleaned sand in the reefer a couple times already. Haha sorry... I spent like 3 hours and am too tired for the DSLR. Here is a blue picture And here was earlier, before I moved the other island Me likey?? Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I say move your corals to the sides, then put some rock in, look at the pieces, then next time walk by and move 2 pieces. Rinse and repeat several times til you're happy. Things may grow on you as you walk by and see different angles. 4 Quote Link to comment

It all really depends on what you are after. Not sure how many corals are attached to the rock you brought over but it might make a difference in the aquascape. I know I hated this part of it GOOD LUCK! Quote Link to comment
kguske2 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Shit I get PE on sticks during daytime and nothing at night. Wtf. For the scape, 2-3 islands could be nice. Also trying to create a valley in the middle looks awesome when executed right! 1 Quote Link to comment
Newstead Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I have 50lbs more rock. What do I do. Giant pile? Wall? Island(/)? I am playing with mine tonight. BRS has a video explaining the rule of 3rds and there is a great article on reefcentral called Tips and Tricks on Creating Amazing Aquascapes that goes over the same concept with pics. I am going to try something similar, otherwise I would just throw them in a pile. No artistic eye here Examples 1 Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 So the little clam has some odd algae on it, maybe bryopsis. Im hesitant to transfer it; any ideas? Quote Link to comment
JavaJacketOC Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 So the little clam has some odd algae on it, maybe bryopsis. Im hesitant to transfer it; any ideas? Dab 100% peroxide on the shell with a cotton ball or q tip where the off algae is, don't get any in the clam, let it sit for 3 min out of the tank, rinse and add it. It'll go away.
