Reef Bruh's 600 Gallon Upgrade

Awesome new adds!

 

Yes Cam. A couple of my favorite fish.

 

I've just been super busy with work bro, my tanks the exact same.... its so boring, just helped a buddy of mine buy and set up a 14 gallon biocube though, that was fun

 

Well at least you're still in the game. Good hearin from you.

 

Haha yeah I'm still here My bud just got our shipment of rapid LED's in now I have to go help him put it together haha any tips on that one???

 

Yea no drinking while soldiering.

 

rofl I already thought of that so I talked him into getting solderless connections

 

That's even better.

 

Aquascaping Challenge

As I am looking at a tank only filled with water, I was wondering how high at the highest point should my aquascape be. I am definitely wanting room for the fish to swim and room for the corals to grow out and up.

The height of the center overflow is about 21 inches. Will 15 - 18 inches be the max height I can get away with? Reason being is I am having another sump built and the one i already have can hold approximately 100 - 150 lbs of live rock. That should offset the main tank as I only see about 300 - 350 lbs inside there.

While I am waiting I can build my structures now and have them cure until transfer into the DT.

I would like your input and do you think its a good call/decision or maybe someone has a better idea.

 

Yeah Bruh, it sounds like a good plan. if you have water in the thank no reason to not start messing around with the aquascape and see what suits your fancy. I'd say the 15 or 16 inch range might be enough height wise. Gives a few good heights for some acro colonies and gives them room to grow. I fear that if you went all the way to 18 inches you would really only have a room for some monti caps that high up. Anything else might outgrow its space.

But heck ya, if you can start building your structures and let them cure in the sump/dt, you will be a good shape n a few weeks.

JMO though.
