    Came home drunk last night and decided it would be a fantastic idea to re arrange my rocks... lol my fish must be pissed at me by now for changing up their crib so often.

    I keep saying it, but i for real like this one this time. Im going to just add on to it until i get the final product im happy with.

    I have nothing else to report other than the new scape... again. But the tank is doing well!

    I like that just do something a bit taller on the other side with some more rock.

    Not sure, i think ill shoot for the 2 islands like in my 20, but who knows ill let the rock tell me where she likes to be placed, and what looks best. I might just keep adding on the right side of the rock formation and just see what comes of it.
    Thanks winter. I dont know about taller, as the highest "peak" now is like a good 5" from the surface give or take. I want to give the rock work lots of nooks and crannys for fish to feel comfy with. I have a lot already, so who knows what the other half will entail.

    I have so much coralline growth already its crazy and all im running is my skimmer, thats it. no fuge yet, no carbon or gfo, just my psk

    Tank is 6 weeks old today, and i must be doing something right because ive got a coralline explosion. In my 20 it took months to get my rock to change, and well heres what 100% baserock has done in 6 weeks time. Im not complaining... Look at my pretty hermit shell, its been with me since my 20. Its so colorful in person.(rock on very bottom on the glass.)

    Almost every hermit shell in there is purple, or turquoise, or green. And all rock in this one was dry before the tank was started.

    Right click and view the actual size, youll see it reminds me of Easter colors. lol.

    Congrats on the coralline. The rock work looks real nice for fish they should love it.

    haha dude idk what the hell im doing, but my tank likes it. I used Coralife salt, maybe thats the clue, cuz thats all thats in there. and my old t5 from my 20 with old bulbs. lol idk but im liking it.
    Thanks 2! my 2 fish in there now aer diggin it. And im sure future inhabitants will as well. I cant wait to get a tang and watch em swim through all the nooks and stuff.

    So far this tank is making me a happy reefer, and i still have yet to get my fuge online, i cant wait to get some macros, pods, and who knows what else going in there.
