    Aquascaping is done (rev 1)

    Ok first shot at aquascaping the 90, I'm not that displeased with the florida rock really, this is 130# of rock, 75# of arag fine sand
    90# is florida
    30# is tonga shelf

    I kind of want a couple more pieces just to continue the caves up to the top but so far I'm pretty happy with it.

    Water is set to be delivered tomorrow afternoon!

    I think it looks good. I like the look of open areas and passthroughs rather than a brick wall.

    Are the bottom rocks sitting on the glass? Or on the sand?

    Are the rocks epoxied together or just stacked?

    sitting on a very thin layer of sand then built up around them, they are all stacked, no epoxy never used it in any of my tanks if the rocks wont stack I find another place to use them :)

    oh yeah, you guys think a 7" sand bed in the fuge is to much?

    I just dumped a 25# bag in it, same stuff thats in the DT just wanted a dsb in the fuge, if it's a bad idea I can pull 1/2 of it out easily and move it to the DT and still only be at about a 3-4" sand bed in the DT

    Neat-o. Your lighting is just awesome. What kind of bulbs did you put in. UVL? What are they in Kelvin?
