    So I went and got some more rock from the LFS. And I got a little more practice with my aquascaping skills ;) LOL.

    Good news is that my ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels are all getting lower so that must mean my cycle is going to plan.

    Anyways here are my Before and After photos. (Note in the new photo's I forgot to put my Coralife lights on as I'm not using them while the tank cycles I just used a Powercompact desk light.

    Oh and I really need to invest in a Digital Camera and stop using my cell phone for photos..Everything is much brighter in person.

    BEFORE:

    And AFTER: ;D

    As always I'm open to any suggestions and tips! Thanks for Looking.

    I like the aquascape. :) Just be sure that you have your rocks secured down. Specifically the one at top middle.

    The top middle rocks bottom is shaped like an upside down "U" and it fits snuggly on top of the other rock. But if I wanted more security what would you guys recommend?

    Epoxy should do the job. You can get it at your LFS, or buy the same thing at LOWE"S, HD, ACE, or you LHS, without paying the hard price for it saying the word reef on it. Pet stores will charge more simply because it is for aquariums.

    It should look like a green tube & will turn white when mixed to show it is ready to be used. Generally, it will look like this..

    Boston Aqua Farms Colored Reef Epoxy Putty 2oz

    Here's the same thing pretty much, from Lowe's.

    I don't know why this link s broken. :( Just search epoxy putty online.
