Another interesting build. This contest is going to be so much fun

Thank you, and your right this contest is going to be a ton of fun. It was such a good idea, and so many people have participated, I look forward to checking in on them everyday. :)

That turned out pretty good.

Thanks, I'm really trying to think things out a bit with this jar. It's made for an interesting challenge.

Another interesting scape, inside and out.  Great idea and you made lemonade out of lemons!

I love Lemonade, especially Hubbart's!

LOL, I'm not entirely sure about that, your tank is coming along very nicely!

From that angle and with the distortion, it looks like the rock passes right through the glass.  Also, did you notice the mouth and chin of the rock creature through the glass?

Haha I did not notice the rock creature until you pointed it out. :lol:

 

As for the rock appearing to be passing through the jar, that was my original idea.

It just turned out to be much more difficult to pull off than I had originally thought. :)

What a creative idea for your jar. And I never seen wawawang's tank before until now! What a beautiful tank!!

Yea, his tank has pretty much changed my perception of how a reef tank can be done.

Well, we have Life!

 

I've taken some of the coral out of my 10g and placed them in various locations in this jar. And as you may have noticed I've also placed a number of plants on the rockscape.

Moving forward I'm pretty sure I'm going to make this a softy only jar, but who knows I've been known to change my mind from time to time.

This looks fantastic with the airplants on the outside!  It's really coming together. Can't wait to see this develop. 

Thank you, I am super happy with how it's turned out so far. :)

I think the lushness of the softies will contrast nicely with the sharper, more angular lines of the air plants.

Hopefully!

Honestly I've just really fallen for leather corals, and this jars a perfect excuse to get some! :lol:

you may start it a softie jar...

But you will definitely end up with a mixed reef hahaha

 

I said to myself: dont get any sps! Now i have two frags in there -_-

Lol so I've been doing some online shopping.

Half way through it I realized that 3 items in the cart are not softies. Lol

That looks really cool.  Nice work putting the scene together.

Thank you, Hopefully the 2 will grow together to create a unique piece.

Also, if this works out the way I hope it does, there will be a larger tank in my future. ;)

This looks awesome! Very inspiring! And of course there will be a larger tank, this pico is just practice! ;)

So after the weekend I checked the little jar and all parameters were good, except my PH seemed a bit low.

I've noticed the jar developing a small amount of film on the water's surface. So I picked up a little air pump to help.

 

Hopefully breaking up the film and adding oxygen will bring the PH up.
