Aquascaping is still up in the air, this was just the amount of rock i had shoved into a 29g tank. I still have lots of rock in my 30g cube.

Will finish the plumbing job tonight and trasfer the rest of the livestock afterwards!

Another quick update. I was up till about 2AM getting the plumbing done and the 30g transferred over to the new cube. I still have micro bubbles coming from my CL so i will need to probably tear it apart and reapply thread tape and PVC glue everything again. :( Sucks to work all night just to have another problem arise!

Here are the pics...

As you can see the stand is still a frame, but will look really nice!

Not to gloat or anything like that, but i think i am very happy with the aquascape! It turned out literally like a natural 3'x3' Chunk of the reef! I think it looks natural and i gave my corals a lot of room to grow out.

I aquired another EuroReef in a trade and now have 2 similar models. I am thinking about using both of them in my sump. I plan to feed a bit heavier than usual. I have always really liked those reef tanks that have lots of colorful fish in them to look at. I also think that this tank has a great shape and aquascape to try and replicate a chunk of the reef. Fish darting in and out of holes and arches. I am not a big fan of long tanks that have fish that all swim back and forth along the glass, but instead fish swimming around the reef minding their own business searching for food and such.
Here are the skimmers i will be using now that i have explained my reasoning.

You could always downgrade...have too many, and give me all the extras. Not that I'll have room since I essentially jammed by 72 bowfront into my 60 cube. gallon-wise it stayed almost the same...but space-wise somehow it just doesn't feel like it did :squigglemouth:

Nope i am going to be upgrading to a 48x48x24 Complete walk around tank next...So i will be even more depressed at the amount of livestock that i have!
And happy at the same time!
