Ants Reef Tank

so curing my base rock in my 55 till i move. have 44 pounds of base from marcorocks.com with 10 pounds of live.

After seeing a tank with water and rock for a month i found it boring so i went to LFS and picked up some Lyretail Chromis to have something to look at. (yes i tested water and peram's were all at 0 and salt was at 1.023)

Still have temp lights on tank, moving on custom made stand tomarrow so i will put my sand and fill tank tomarrow after i move it into its resting place.

 

nice aquascape job on that Ant
are you settling at that amount of rock, as the 2 island look you achieved is very good IMHO

i was planning on getting alittle bit more live rock maybe 1 big rock or 2 smaller peices but that is abour it. thanks

 

Just a Update of the tank, sand is still setting, and peram's all all good but little trace of nitrate (waiting till hits 0) before i get my CUC

I really like the rock scape!

Are the rocks bonded together somehow or just sitting on each other?

 

i have them sitting on eachother, ii like to be able to change the rocks if need be

 

Looks like you are off to a good start. Judging by the dates, you have taken it slow. I would watch the size of that Tang though.....They get BIG!!!

 

Nice looking tank ant, one tip that will make that clown tang pretty happy. Give them lots of flow. My achilles loves flow, and even the Hydro K4's are becoming to week for him to swim in as he ages. I plan on upgrading to some heavy hitting pumps. Might be a good idea to throw another powerhead in there. Will make them quite happy so they dont pace the tank!

Looking good otherwise! Good luck!
