IT'S SPECTACULAR! (It isn't even wet yet!) :eek:
I appreciate that
Appears maybe we have gone a little to modern in the scape
A lot of people are not liking it
We love it. Great for flow , coral placement & swim space
Maybe setting a new trend people will get used to it
Will look very different with coral & colours
Thank you for the positive feedback your about the first
Ouch !

nahhh, the scape looks fantastic. I used to have the issue with picturing the tank a year or two out in my head.
planning the scape for the future look is where people usually misjudge at the beginning.

cant wait to see this one come along. Well done! :)

This race track sump has been ideal for plumbing
So much easier than the old one
Decided bean animal again as it quiet & so far has proven safe

Beautiful scape!!!!! It's amazing. I wish I had the depth to do something like that
Thank you
We love it too
Had mixed opinions
But we think once stocked with corals eventually
It will have nice shapes

Well she's done :)
My gut instincts to move everthing over immed was a good one
From above the fish all looked ok
Well start break down & catching it was a hole different story
6 of the fish had Popeyes - obviously from poor water quality
They lacked vibrancy & colour was almost non existent
Yet from above view I new there was aggression but could not see lack of health

So the cycle began
And although a challenge I feel I am doing exactly what's been needed

People might also say - idiots
That's fine
Yes - we added 2 more yellow tangs
Powder blue & bristle tooth


I did not want to be stuck with this huge tank in 3 months time with an established gang & not be able to add what we wanted

The purple is the clear leader of the yellows & they are schooling beautifully together & so far NO aggression

I am using stability & prime to get through this cycle & testing daily
The water is very cloudy due to the bacteria being added but sechem assures me it will clear once colonies become established

Here are some pics
Unfortunately the iPhone makes everthing blue
But I hope you enjoy
