    Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

    So my tank looked blah IMO with the old aquascape and everything. It contained Fiji live rock, not enough sand, and one Koralia 2 power head.

    It looked like this:

    I ordered 25 lbs of BRS “Reef Saver” Eco Dry Aquarium Live Rock from Bulk Reef Supply (the white rocks in the pictures), got some reef epoxy, 20 lbs more sand, and decided to completely redo my aquascaping and I am very satisfied at this point from the way it looks and its functionality (the amount of shelves or cool locations to place future corals). In addition I got myself a second power head, a Koralia Evo 750, and a clean up crew from ReefCleaners to keep my tank looking squeeky clean! What do you guys think?? :)

    From left to right:
    (I placed my GSP between the rock so it can hopefully cover that crack in the middle of the two rocks, and make them look as if it was one whole piece)

    Im very excited about the way it turned out, and the epoxy allowed me to create those interesting shelves and arches. Soon all the rocks should turn purple and look the same. The guy from BRS said that the rock I bought will become alive.

    Oh and check out my zoas =]

    Love the rockwork.

    Not a fan of your stocking list...

    The GSP will overtake the entire structure within 18months. I advise you to move the rock it is on to the sandbed as its own island. The stuff is insidious.

    Definate improvement,looks great.I agree with Pered though,you'll wish you had isolated the gsp if you don't do it now.It'll overgrow about anything including other corals
