Aaron's Red Sea Reefer 350 Build

[Reefjockey]

Santa was very good to me this year, and my new Red Sea Reefer 350 is in it's resting place. I am working on the aquascape, with a 40# box of Marco and the grey cement kit. Thought I'd share a few pictures and get some opinions...

This is pretty fun trying to sculpt! Trying for a NSA

Excellent work so far. Following.

After 2 months of staring at my water filled tank with a very satisfying aquascape, I recently took the plunge and purchased two Ecotech XR 15 Blues. These have really made my research and decision to upgrade my lighting very satisfying.

Update on the build. I added my first fish to the tank - 4 green chromis for a little schooling action, and a Strawberry Pygmy Basslet, Pictichromis porphyrea, for he or she to get established before I bring over the Yellow Tang and Clarki Clown that have been tankmates for 5+ years, along with a very nice selection of frags from the last Tidal Gardens R2R sale. Pictures will be uploaded to this post soon.

Wow, It's been an adventure, but here is the tank in February. Looking for a few suggestions on what to add (or remove) next. It just upset me to lose a little Maxima clam recently, but most things just keep growing.

Looks great to me. The only thing I would worry about is the gsp on the left growing over the 2 frags you have up there.

I know, right? GSP was nice at first, and I was anxious to get some color in the tank, so I was satisfied a year and a half ago. I am familiar with its negatives as well. I have an almost 20-year-old tank with nothing but GSP and some Toadstool Leathers. They crowded every other coral out that I ever had in my 46 bowfront.
