Getting along with some rock scaping.

I’ve been using superglue and mortar/ sand. Be careful though, the fumes can cause breathing and eye difficulties!

No!- Liquid superglue. The very thin stuff is rapid setting, but if you mix it as you pour into the joints with tiny rock rubble, or this special cement mortar that Torsten from Korallenwelt gave me, it sets like concrete- amazingly tough.

Exciting to see the build come together. I loved your old tank on RC. Your pics are amazing!
Thanks Lubeck.

I’ll get get some photos up soon.
I have some of the build up again this time too.
If you recall, I had 9x400w radium’s and 12T5 tubes in Gieseman Spectra fixtures. I still have them, but decided to go with LED this time and chose Radion Gen6- a lot of them!

20 Blues!
Nice! 20!!!!

I have a XR30 gen5 blue over my 32 gal nano. Easy par of 400+ on 75% intensity. Thinking about getting the reefbrite mod but not sure.

I’ve started the initial steps in planning/costing out a 8x5x2.5 in wall. 2 yrs out. I will be watching yours closely for ideas. I was thinking of 10 xr30 s with reefbrites for 8x5, that should keep sps right? if they ran front to back 5 rows of 2?
