AReeferIsExpensive Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 nice caves....cant wait to see late pix w/ shrimp whiskers poppin out of them~ Link to comment
Noonan Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I just realized thats 20 pounds? Seems like a lot. Link to comment
brechbuhl Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 Yeah, it doesnt look like a lot but it's all crammed in the bottom. I need to move it towards the top Link to comment
Domino_Tang Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I think actually your better off staying just like this .. a lil sand but not too much the unique deisgn looks good xD piling gives more of a realistic approach Even though you might not listen to me ... ask anyone the tank looks fine ill bet you'll move alot of the rocks around but you wont get it like that again no matter how many times you try ='( Lots of lilttle caves .. might suggest after cycling you get some hermits and snails.... before the sand ... Then you can do w/e after the tank is running =] But nice others wise Link to comment
brechbuhl Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 This a new picture of my tank. Amonia has started to go down and nitrites up which is good. Soon I'll have fish and a clean up crew. Link to comment
Withers Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 i LOVE that aquascape. very very nice. as long as its sturdy, i don't think i would change anything. Link to comment
doody Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Yeah, The Doody likes it. Add your cleaners first then wait then fish Link to comment
The Unit Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 i would suggest moving your rocks off the sides of the glass, and puting some sand in the tank, rocks can cause pressurepoints on the glass and might break the bottom if there are and imperfections in the glass. JMO i used to run a 15H for years...nice tanks i see if i cant get a pic of mine Link to comment
SaltCreep Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 very cool arrangment of the rock. I likes! cant wait to see it with some corals. Link to comment

I wouldnt worry about it. here's my tank Link to comment
Withers Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 i guess technically since the tank is barebottom the rocks have nothing to secure them to the bottom, so they may slide. didn't think about that. Link to comment
The Unit Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 ###### i only suggest the rocks not rouch the sides as it is a pain in the butt if not imposible to clean the glass...there will always be that little part of green agle that u cant get to but u can deff see...there is almost no was the sides r gona break... plus haveing sand will hide all of the detrius u already have building up on the bottom glass Link to comment
3gEclipseGuy Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 He could leave it without sand and let mushrooms, gsps, brains, plates.... fill it up. That could look cool Link to comment
DLeAnnM Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Update on the tank? I have the same rock just put in 2 days ago. Link to comment
