Hello! As I wait for my first saltwater tank to arrive (Waterbox 130.4), this is my first post on this forum. Any thoughts, opinions, suggestions, regarding my Marcorocks aquascape before I mortar would be greatly appreciated!

Good call! Thanks!It looks awesome. The only thing I would change is moving it off the back a little to make cleaning/scraping easier but that depends on maintenance habits.
Thanks for the feedback! I made some adjustments to allow for some space around the rocks.That is an awesome scape. As stated already maybe have a 3-4 inch gap between the rocks and tank, for cleaning and potential corals.
Haha! Thanks!Awesome! Looks so good I'm now questioning my next tank build..lol welcome to R2R
I agree and made some adjustments. Will post new pics shorty. Thanks!I'm not sure about the left side, its very square with straight edges and sharp angles, they're not shapes you see naturally in nature so to me they stand out. its funny its only in the striaght on view you get it. Everywhere else and other view it looks great.
This is great! However if this is your first take I would seriously recommend getting live rock along with the dry rock that you have. Only intermediate aquarists can really control lack of beneficial bacteria. It needs to fend for itself and with only dry rock there will be no internal ecosystemHello!

I was planning to kick start my cycle with Dr. Tim’s One and Only, as well as adding ammonia for a fishless cycle. I also have a Marinepure block for the sump. Hoping that with the very porous MarcoRock and the Marinepure, things will gradually come to life. Planning to be very patient with this whole process and not rush things.This is great!

You’ll be fine. You could put some live rock in the sump, but as long as you take your time and keep the lights off for a couple months while building the bacterial population you should be fine.I was planning to kick start my cycle with Dr. Tim’s One and Only, as well as adding ammonia for a fishless cycle.

The prospect of fending off hitchhikers in live rock scares me more than trying to bring things to life. Perhaps I’m just being naïve. If I would purchase some live rock, would it be okay to place it in the sump? I really don’t want to add much more to the display (other than fish, corals, etc down the road) unless I have to.
Thanks for the feedback!
