    I'm not sure if I've mentioned this yet but, I'll be using the biocube filtration upgrades from intank. I'll have a fuge that I'll have macro in, a media basket that I'll have chemi pure elite, carbon, and polyester filling. And a fish saver to prevent fish jumping into the sump.

    Thanks! Yeah it's really difficult since its going into a cube:( but the rock Locks together do that's a plus. I'll probably put it all in the tank tomorrow. Pics of the scape tomorrow!

    aquascaping is hard, but stay persistent and make it very stable so they wont budge. i would recommend putting smaller rocks on the bottom and placing bigger rocks on top, this way you will have lots of flow under neath all of your rocks is which important, it will also create an endless amount of caves and tunnel systems. just make sure you set up your rocks so you never get an avalanche effect.

    you dont want to kill two pieces of coral with one live rock :)
