ok, people. I finally had water and rock in the tank last night. Took me hours to aquascape and move the rock around in the tank and not scratch the glass from falling rock, hehhe..

First verison of the aquascape:

hey Tom congradulations on getting that tank set up.

okay the rocks, I like the rocks but see room for improvment.

it's all the same level, what about making one section lower so
you will have room for stags and slimers as they grow.

also it all looks too filled in, it needs some negative space, or open space, whichever you prefer to call it.

I'll make a sketch over one of your pics to show you what I mean.

looks great.. why no sand bed?
I like the Barebottom benefit, more flow which means no sandstorm :icon16: and more space :D..

Thanks for the comment, I see what I can do to move the rock around to give a little more space. Look like I need an upgrade? I will get endless open space if i get a 180 :banghead: :banghead:

Tom I think it looks great!, I love the rock. I can't tell if you have too much rock in there because the tank isn't filled all the way. Post a shot all filled up :)

Yea most of them are showsize pieces, as I don't like small rock stack on top of each other.. I got them from my last tank? j/k.. Most of the rock are kalinie live rocks that I brought from someguy that ordered it online.

Here are shots macro shot I can finally take of my tanks. I put what are the remaining corals I had from the misshap. I guess you can call them the Survivor! Here are some SPS to kick start my tank thread.
