Re: Aquascaping

That is very ambitious... must not have had anything to do yesterday!

I think it looks nice.. but I bet it will look awesome when the middle rocks are covered in purty corals

Re: Aquascaping

I did that this morning .

Hey, what a coincidence! I've been thinking about getting a plate coral, a candy cane and pineapple brain. I like LPS .

I think the fish like it better -- it's more open, since I stacked the rocks higher. And a problem I had with the old setup was it was hard to find a place to stick new things! This way I have more space on the rocks and on the substrate. Now I've just got to wait to make sure everyone is present and accounted for (which may take a couple days).

Re: Aquascaping

Our local expert (the coral farm owner) recommending a setup that has a good amount of front to back openings... The new setup will help circulate the water better and should create some neat water patterns when the corals are added.
