My IM 50g AIO Aquascape

[Theolox]

I recently completed my first saltwater aquascape where I actually built in instead of just stacking rocks. I watched the BRS NSA and HNSA video several times each and ordered supplies. I bought most of my rock from Premium Aquatics, and then bought the epoxy, superglues, and Marco powder from BRS. I taped off my carboard with the outer edge of the tape flush with the inner dimensions of the tank. That way as long as I stayed inside the tape, I knew I'd have enough room to clean the glass. I broke up the rock, played with it for a long time and eventually found something I am happy with. I did 3 main sections and 2 islands. I am hoping to put zoas on the islands and then LPS on the platforms. I am also hoping to have a few fish that will enjoy the scape. I hope I built enough hide-outs, swim-throughs, and caves for them. Time will tell.

That is gorgeous. You should feel pride in that build.

That looks great. You've given me some more ideas when I get to setting up mine system.
