Rehype Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Looking like a great start. You are going for reactors vs dosing? Thanks dave. Yea I havent had a reactor in years and while two part dosing works great I really love how a reactor is continually adding back all the chemicals/elements to the water in the correct proportions, as they are consumed by coral and other animals. I like that light!! Thanks Weetie! Im quite fond of it myself 2 Quote Link to comment

Thanks Weetie! Im quite fond of it myself I just got all the pieces for my reactor. I've decided to set it up on the new 30g frag tank so that if I screw something up while I learn how to run it I won't have to kill myself Thanks for posting about the sale! Quote Link to comment

Awesome let me know when you set it up. What regulator and did you go with and what size CO2 tank? Also What type of media? Thats a good idea.. just be sure to test often,make any adjustments slowly and you will be fine Stop teasing. What rocks did you go with? Real reef Rock..Trying to be a more responsible reefer. More pics of the scape.. 20 Quote Link to comment
4x5 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Looking good! I was considering the Real Reef, but opted to go with the Marco Rocks again as I don't know much about the RR stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rehype Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Looking good! I was considering the Real Reef, but opted to go with the Marco Rocks again as I don't know much about the RR stuff. Thanks alot Shaun. Ive used marco rocks as well which are great although they typically leach phosphates for quite some time IME RR have some really great diversity in shapes between their normal,shelf and tonga styles. I also like the touch of coloring to mimic coralline algae. Some other shots.. 20 Quote Link to comment
Oceanus Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Drop off scapes can be hard to pull off but I think you nailed it. Very dramatic. 2 Quote Link to comment
Rehype Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Drop off scapes can be hard to pull off but I think you nailed it. Very dramatic. Thanks alot...It definitely took a while to get it close to the look I had in my head but overall its pretty close. When I have enough mature coral on the top shelf I think it will create a pretty strong visual. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 As mentioned, not easy to aquascape these drop-off systems and I think you've got a real winner here. Nicely done! In my mind's eye, I can envision some of the more unique coral growth forms to lend dramatic texture and color. 1 Quote Link to comment

brad908 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Really looking forward to this. Like the way you're photographing it from the side, as I feel that is what I dislike most about dropoffs but the dark shadows continues the dropoff effect nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rehype Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Beautiful scape! Thanks alot Sebastian! Really looking forward to this. Like the way you're photographing it from the side, as I feel that is what I dislike most about dropoffs but the dark shadows continues the dropoff effect nicely. Thanks alot man. I was trying for a scape that creates a bit of drama but still looks natural and maximizes space for coral. Quote Link to comment
J-Ranko Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Drop-off scape done right! Looks like one continuous rock from the top shelf to the bottom. I like how you have several small pieces scattered about, too. 1 Quote Link to comment
