HarryPotter Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Why aren't you in school child? Was too busy playing with rocks. What do you think? 2 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Ha! Nice. I could get the "150gpd water saving upgrade kit" for $60 in the future, but im happy for now http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-150-gpd-water-saver-upgrade-kit.html You probably don't have enough water pressure for all that. I would buy a booster pump. It will take your current membrane to around 120-150GPD and will make it more efficient. 2 Quote Link to comment

Sancho Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Was too busy playing with rocks. What do you think? It all seems to be in the back of the tank. Bring some closer to the front to give it a bit more depth. Maybe rotate the rockwork on the far left closer to the front. IDK I hate scaping Quote Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Was too busy playing with rocks. What do you think? i like it a lot! funny how different the color is. It all seems to be in the back of the tank. Bring some closer to the front to give it a bit more depth. Maybe rotate the rockwork on the far left closer to the front. IDK I hate scaping +1 to this. use the depth as much as you can. i guess I'm spoiled with a cube in this, but you can pull it off with these dimensions too. Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 the depth thing is hard in this tank because of the center overflow. you could try and move the left rocks further back and angle the center to the front. 3 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'd rotate the monti island so they don't grow to the glass and rather out into the center of the tank to have the largest area to grow. I like the idea of moving the left cave forward, then the critters will hide but you'll be able to see them better. Quote Link to comment

The rocks I was sent are a bit large- hard to use a 20lb piece! i like it a lot! funny how different the color is. +1 to this. use the depth as much as you can. i guess I'm spoiled with a cube in this, but you can pull it off with these dimensions too. the depth thing is hard in this tank because of the center overflow. you could try and move the left rocks further back and angle the center to the front.

FlowerMama, I like that idea with the caps. But I believe they will grow in all directions- not just towards the glass. Especially with the ATI 6x54w that goes to the edge of the tank! 2 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Take a hammer to some rocks. You were given large boulders, make them more unique if you need to. Put it in a garbage bag and whack a hammer on a corner of it or something. 5 Quote Link to comment

Put it in a garbage bag and whack a hammer on a corner of it or something. Im going to give my tank a rest. Some of my Rock Flower Anemones jumped off the rock due to stress and my wrasse jumped twice while I was working in the tank- I want to leave a bit. 4 Quote Link to comment

Lawnman Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 True! I feel the need to justify myself to people sometimes, I need to learn to just not give a damn! So how many rocks do you count here? I believe one is a mutt in camouflage Is that your dog to Harry? How many dogs do you have ? 1 Quote Link to comment

Lawnman Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Imagine a luffa sponge water goes right thru it. Plus most macros float and they never get stuck in the pumps. You can do what you want but I haven't had to unclog my skimmer pump 1 time and my sump is full of macros. 4 Quote Link to comment
