NanoBob Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I just got the shipment yesterday. Took me longer than I thought to assemble, but once it was done I have to say I am pretty happy. Temporary spot until I get my 13.2 Evo moved. What does everyone think of the aquascape? I struggled with it mightily!! Cheers! Bob. 2 Quote Link to comment
Staticmoves Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Love the tank. scape is cool. love the cove and channel flow, draws the eyes in. what’s your thoughts on things growing towards the glass quickly on the outside of the rock structure. assuming you are looking to grow Stoney coral. following along… 1 Quote Link to comment
Crawford_T Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Love the scape, I played around with the 2 island idea in mine but just didn’t have enough space. 1 Quote Link to comment

It is hard to see, but there are a lot of pockets to position the frags once I start adding coral. I hope to be able to control any growth direction based on placement. We'll see, because I am not very good at fragging as you can in my 13.5 evo!! I appreciate the follow! Cheers! Bob. 2 Quote Link to comment

There never seems to be enough room!! I do like the dimensions of this tank though. It allows a lot of swimming room aver the scape. Cheers! Bob. Quote Link to comment
Kev1n Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Looks really nice to my eyes. Only thing I would worry about is space to clean the glass lower down? But thats just my opinion. If you like it, thats what counts. 2 Quote Link to comment

Airedale.Reef Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Excited for the potential here! Designing and setting up the aqua space is really one of my favorite steps in reefing! I think you did a good job incorporating two islands with a slight twist in creating the channel. Following along as well! Quote Link to comment

NanoBob Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Sand added. Nero 3 and return pump have pushed the sand around to create hills and valleys. No visible dead spots, but I am thinking about putting another Nero behind the tower on the right. All of the crevasses will spread the flow out nicely, I think. Cheers, Bob. 5 Quote Link to comment
Kev1n Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Looks great. Two Nero 3 wave makers is an excellent idea. They hide well against a black background. Quote Link to comment
Justind823 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Great scape and very nice porous looking rock! Following along Quote Link to comment

NanoBob Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Carl the arc eye hawkfish and Mocha and Java. They are a naked mocha clownfish pair. Diatoms are here!!! Cheers, Bob. 3 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Always want to keep a hawkfish, but then my love for shrimp kinda outweighed that want. 1 Quote Link to comment

I am going to try adding some zombie snails (local place has some that are 3/4" long) and a sand sifting starfish. I wanted this tank to be unlike tanks I have done in the past, so I figured I would try something different. I still have my EVO setup and that has a tiger pistol/yellow watchman pair. They are so much fun to watch. Cheers, Bob. 2 Quote Link to comment
