Looking good. But only half sand??? Lol looks kinda funny like that...


-Alex-

Haha, I ran out so that's all the further I got. That was an extra bag of sand that I had. I have three more bags waiting on my porch now.

 

[skinz78]

that looks cool, very unique. Great job, keep it going.

I applaud you for taking a different look with your tank. Its a great idea not do the same looking reef, and being a leader of innovation and ideas. Way to go.

Looking great!!! This is gonna be amazing when it is stocked!!!

Glad to see that bad boy up and going!

Thanks,hopefully ill have more pics tonight.

 

[skinz78]

Picture time! I added all the sand and some more base rock and a few bunch's of Macro algae.

Wow Chris! It looks great!

Well I just added the last of the water and turned the return pump on. It's a new pump to me soooo I wasn't sure of the output and the pressure behind it... It's got a lot more than I expected and it pushed the spray bar "which I didn't have secured yet" out and over the front of the tank and it began to spray about 1,000 GPH onto me and the floor... It was quite comical!

Sure wish you had video of this!

Hey how boutan update on your finger.sorry if i missed it

 

[skinz78]

It's doing better, still not a 100% though. I need to do some update pic's of the tank too, I've added some corals. Last night I checked my nitrates and they are at 5ppm so things are looking good.

 

[redtop03]

rock work looks awesome dude, can't wait to see it full of coral...good to hear the finger is doing better too

 

[c_healy]

Love the rock work! Can't wait to see the tank fully stocked.

 

[skinz78]

Thanks!

 

[skinz78]

Three nights ago I decided to place a few corals in there to see what would happen and they are doing quite well now. I just checked my ammonia and it's at about .50ppm and my nitrates are at about 5ppm.

My question is would you consider the cycle to be over now? I'm thinking of adding more corals to the tank.

 

[Aquaph8]

I'd wait till the Ammonia is zero just to be safe. Scape looks good Chris, coming along nicely!

 

[revhtree]

Looking great man! I like the aquascape as well.

 

[Mrfresh]

I like that rock work

Is it weird I liked the pic were it only had rock on one side with the sand and the other side bb...
It reminded me of that drop off tank

 

[Dave3112]

Looks great! I'm really diggin the rock work.

 

[whixley101]

Looking really nice

 

[skinz78]

Thanks everyone!

I added one of my MP40's and my Power Station to the tank last night. I've been slowly adding some of the base rock from the 120g as well but I think I've added all that I can without removing rocks that are covered with corals.

Tank is looking good. I would wait for the ammonia to zero out as well as your nitrites. Cycling is so boring and so hard to wait out, you are getting close though.
