Finally about to get this tank up and running... it's only taken 9 months of researching the forum, lol. I will eventually sit down and do a build thread... just gotta find the time!
Aquascape question...is it recommended to sit the live rock directly on the glass bottom, or elevate each piece...
I'm starting a new 90 gal reef tank and want to know what style of aquascape to do. I ordered 100 pounds of dry rock from John at ReefCleaners and made this:
I haven't glued anything yet so I'm still able to move things around. I wanna see what you guys made, I'm also open to any suggestions.
What started as a B-day gift (LFS Glass tank, with black hood and Stand)- is now the focal point of my house! I didn't cheap out, so the build took just shy of 1 year to complete. With Fish-keeping +25 years, this is the biggest tank to date for both fresh and Salt.
Basement requirements:

Hi,
I've set up the first batch of Live rock, used aquaforest cement, works pretty good! (i bought the rocks from a previous owner with the tank 2nd hand), i'm guessing there's 25kg but really i have no idea...
It's my first setup, so any advice is greatly appreciated! I think i need to add...
My tank is 60 gallons... kinda skinny as far as depth is concerned. I'm having a hard time getting an aquascape setup I like without touching the walls of my tank. I'm thinking about breaking up some of my larger rocks.
Also, I'm thinking about taking the sand out and keeping it in a plastic...
Hi all,
Quick question: I'm about to start a layout and my initial thought was to make sure the rocks never touched the glass, and the back too, for maintenance reasons. Concerning the back glass panel, I also prefer black clean looking glass as opposed to completely coraline-invaded background...
Had an old 36g bowfront that I am converting from freshwater to saltwater. This will be make second reef tank. I'm hoping to keep maintainence/care easier so I will be doing mostly fish, with a few softies, and maybe a Nem for the clowns.
My first tank I used live rock and ended up just having...
So my Fiancee has been asking since i got back into the hobby for sea horses. I'm sure many of you have had this problem. I keep telling her that we cant put them into my Display tank because they will die. :-( Well just last week she figured out a new angle. I have a 37 column that i keep...
This will be my first post, I'm wondering how you SPS experts think this will grow in and if there is anything you would change... Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!
Hi,
Have had my upgrade which is a TMC signature 900 cycling for 6 weeks now.
5 of those weeks I was away in Asia but a friend kept eye on the tank.
I used some established live rock from a smaller tank which i put in the sump and some new live rock from my LFS which I attempted to putty...
I recently had to rebuild my tank due to leached heavy metals, so I used all new rockwork. That's a lot of aquascaping, so I decided to try the new AquaScape Fix by Fauna Marin.
I have absolutely fallen in love with it, so I decided to do a quick video on how I use it. Note that it has no...

So i have had my tank up and running for about two week now and noticed that with my rocks against the back glass it has been a black hole for detrius and other particles of junk to collect as there is no flow. I purchased the tank from someone who used it just with coral so the rock was cut...
Well I decided that today would be a good day to purchase another tank. I am going to be building a Red Sea Reefer 425 XL. Looking to do an aquascape that's open for fish to swim through big arches but also want adequate coral placement options. This one is going to be built with white dry...
I had to recently break my tank down and restart with the sand and water. I still have my live rock though. Im thinking about what I wanted to do with it once it was started up again, and thought of something I havent seen yet. I was planning on making a couple pillars with live rock and adding...
I'm new to all of this, but diving head first into it. I've been reading up on it for 2 months, watching videos, reading threads, etc... Here's my first attempt at an aquascape, I'm interested in opinions. Is this a good setup for fish and coral? Is it weird to have Pukani on one side and Tonga...
What type of sealer would I use over plastic? Specifically a small toy to make it salt water safe. I've read everything from silicone type 1 to UV resistant epoxy to you don't even need to seal plastic... I'd like to know from someone who has actually done this with no issues what I would need...
