Holy guacamole! My legs and knees are tired... Finished (finally) tearing down the 6' 135 today after church. Dragged it to the middle of the room and dragged the 4' 110 into its place. Gonna have the 6 gallon on the right side and the 8 gallon on the left side. The 2 AIO will be Pico reefs and the 110 is going to be freshwater. Well, the 6 gallon is currently "running" as a saltwater tank with sand and a live rock, no light, no corals or fish so it may become a little freshwater tank - we'll see I guess.

8 Gallon will definitely be a reef. Scape is almost done.

Freshwater im thinking about having a small sand area in one front corner and I use pea gravel/river gravel for the rest of the substrate - a very big contrast in colors that I'm looking forward to!

I've got a whole pile of river rocks that I'm going to have in one corner and I'm going to get some driftwood or manzanita in there as well.

Tank itself is dirty so I'm going to fill it some with water and vinegar and scrub scrub scrub, then drain, add substrate and rock pile, then refill.

Are you guys tired now too????

My back hurts from reading this.

Nothing to see yet except a dirty, empty tank.

But since I never take pictures of dinner:

Butter Burgers on the smoker.

Someone’s got a ring from the last one.

And here's the 8 gallon leak testing:

And the scape so far:

Don't know if I'm going to connect the two with a shelf on top, in the middle, or leave them as towers.

 

[tbrown]

I added a little extra "shelf" on the side today that's not in the picture - it's still drying.

Did you use sand or crumbled rock on the glue?

How about connecting the middle of the left rock with the bottom of the right or vice versa and thus look for some coral to act as the center piece of the tank but without being in the sand?

I broke apart some previous Aragocrete pieces I made and reglued them adding sand on the glue.

I'm considering having an island towards the front for zoas but I could do something similar not jutting out to the front.
