you had some nice aquascapes you were experimenting with. What did you land on? Got pictures?
I went with the one that’s in the set of pictures from July 3rd. I will try to get better pictures soon. Both structures were built using broken up Moani rock, rock powder and super glue. Running about a 2.5” sand bed as I will have wrasse in this tank.

I will get pictures of everything on Wednesday or Thursday when I’m off. Still playing with power head placement and return pump speed

So a lot of you have asked about the aquascape. The first picture is what I went with, which is two separate structures that are backed up together. There are a few other pieces behind and near the structures to allow to dart holes and swimming space. This tank will be fairly populated with wrasse so I went with a medium height on the rocks and about a 2.5” sand bed. The tank has gone through the cycle and the clean up crew is doing work. I need to add hermits soon, but I have a conch, snails, snails oh and snails lol.

Things progressed great. Everything is looking good, dialing parameters in and will start dosing accordingly.

All the gear is in place. Now I wait for the need to start dosing.
