Finished 112 gallon Lagoon Rockscape

[TTipsyDragon]

I'm upgrading from a 15 gallon nano cube to this massive 112 gallon lagoon cube and just spent about a week on this rockscape that I want to share with you all.

What do you guys think of it? Do you like the dragon I made?

Also would like to leave a little bit of knowledge I learned. This is completely held together with BRS super glue. no cement or epoxy is really needed if you glue strategic points and then brace the joints with a small rock. I built this outside the tank on a table and then lifted it into the tank

TLDR super glue is strong

Looks good, but you do have some very fine sand, so watch that flow you add. Sand will blow around badly

I was hoping for acros on top of this rock do you think I should switch out the sand? If so have any recommendations that would be better?

I really like that scape! Looks great!

What kind of rock did you use ? How many pounds looks nice

I bought 75lbs of Reef Saver Aquarium Dry Live Rock - MarcoRocks from BRS and split and cut every rock into smaller more interesting looking pieces

And I have this much left over (probably 15lbs). I would say the rock scape is most likely 60lbs of rock

Thank you , you are going all dry rock ? Any issues with cycling you foresee ?

That's all up to you, I use Caribsea Arag-alive special grade. It holds up well with high flow and sand sifting gobies are ok with it.

here is a guide for the different types of sand

Looks good, but you do have some very fine sand, so watch that flow you add. Sand will blow around badly

I run 3x MP40's and 2x Maxspect Gyre XF350 in my tank, with a 3100gph return pump. Caribsea Live Aragonite is what I used for sand. It doesn't blow around, but my watchman goby sure does re-arrange my sand bed for me.

The mp40's run between 45% and 70% and the Gyres at 80%.
Placement of the power heads will have more impact on moving sand than anything IMO.
