60g Cube Aquascape

ronnie · Nov 10, 2013

Finished my rock work a few minutes ago. Turned out pretty good. Planning to start cycling this rock as soon as my skimmer shows up. The plan is to run tandem setups - so I will cycle the new tank and then transfer fish and coral over when it's ready. This should keep me from rushing anything.

I used just at two tubes of aquamend for all of this. Each structure is completely tied together, so no fear of falling. I had some major issues in my 120g with rock slides, so I wanted to be sure these all stayed together.

Very nice that is going to be pretty awesome!

Thanks. The plan is to run three MP10s in the back glass. Two up high on the sides and one lower in the middle.

Should be plenty of room for all the sticks I have.

Thanks Krista. This tank is one I'm gonna do everything right and take my time. Not like the other four tanks where I said I'd do that and didn't. :)

Patience grasshopper. Still have to drill for the ghost overflow, build a stand, and then plumb it all. So it'll take a while. But I will post pics when I get there.
