Aquascaping

Hey reefers,

Would just like ur opinon and rating on my aquascaping.

Rusty.

 

It looks like you did a good job as long as its all secure your in decent shape to get your reef going. You placed the rock before the sand right? It looks like you have a decent amount of sand, wouldn't want that under the rock.

 

I would be concerned about the few pieces that are suspended above. I know you think they are secure but trust me they will fall. Either by you sticking your hand in there are my your inhabitants. You can use stuff to secure the rock like, "Marineland Holdfast!"

 

looks good, but like others have posted it will fall, better to know now then when you have corals. I know I have had a few fall in the past. You can pick up some rock epoxy and secure some of the upper pieces.
I like the arch on the left side, is that one piece of rock?

 

Thanks guys for letting me know that i will fix them with some epoxy, Yes that is 1 piece of rock on the left and i have no sand under the rock the rock is sitting on eggcrate only the first 6 inches is sand.

 

Can u afix this rock epoxy under water, or must you bring the rock out and wait for it to cure/dry?

 

What does that mean?

I use marine epoxy and I buy it at Home Depot. I let it cure in the tank.

 

ya peredhil I think he is saying it goes eggcrate then the sand then the rocks sitting on the sand. Thats a bad idea if you have some sand shifters, dont want to say this or scare you but you dont want to wake up to a loud spash in your house cuz a fish got stupid and decided to build a bunker under your rocks. You should dig out ur sand and then place the rocks as close to the bottom as u can like on the glass or 1/2 from the glass with minut amount of sand. I set mine up with eggcrate then put the rock directly on the eggcrate then poured sand around the rock.

 

Thats how i have mine eggcrate on bottom glass, then rock straight on that. The only sand is at the front of the rock where u can see.
