Looks good. I like it much better than bare bottom. You can have wrasses.

My tank is only 30g and I've read that some wrasse grow up to 7inches. Do you know any smaller wrasses?Looks good. I like it much better than bare bottom. You can have wrasses.
Pink streak wrasse will do well in that tank. I agree with pushing the rocks down to the glass. It will shift over time if you don’t. The sand depth is fine. As others have mentioned, in a couple months add a fighting conch and about 7-10 nassarius snails. Looks great so far!My tank is only 30g and I've read that some wrasse grow up to 7inches.

Thanks!!! Very appreciated! What about a big Cowrie snail? I really like it!Pink streak wrasse will do well in that tank. I agree with pushing the rocks down to the glass.

A lot of creatures that go into these tanks will either burrow or shift sand around, especially in the vicinity of rock. Some are surprisingly effective at this. When they do this they’ll undermine the rock and it’ll fall/settle down onto the tank base, possibly in an unpredictable and destructive manner.Thanks!
May I ask which are the main benefits of doing this?

If you don’t want to bury the bottom few inches of your display rockwork you can get cheap dry rock (I like flat shelf rock for this) and put it on the glass and then put your display rock on top of that, then bury the “foundation” rock with sand.
Looks goodHi there,
I am fishless cycling my tank (I am around day 15) and I was wondering if I put too much sand in my 32-gallon tank.
At the highest point, live sand is about 6,5cm tall. Is that too much?
Thanks in advance for your answers!!
Nassarius snails?periscope snails should work.
Yes, I have a magnetic glass cleaner. It fits perfectly all around. For the back of the tank (it's pvc) I believe I need a scraper?Nassarius snails?
OP, do you have a magnetic glass cleaner yet? Check to make sure it gets all around your rocks. That one on the right looks close to the glass.
I agree, tank looks good.
Wow, it looks truly amazing! I'll think about it!!!
50% water change to half that nitrate number, and add your first fish, and keep her steady and stable in terms of water chemistry.Oh, really? Todays reading were:
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 5ppm
Nitrate: 70ppm
What should I do?
(I used red sea reef mature pro kit without nopox cause I used dry rock).
Inverts and some fish will hide and dig in the sand. With time, this will displace the rocks and there is a risk one of your tank inhabitants might get crushed or trapped under a rock.Thanks!

I like it but who am I. You need to like it. I think it'll be much more stable now.Hi guys, update:
I thought was easy to dig the bottom of the aquascape below the sand and..... it was a disaster..... it took me over an hour with my hand in water because as soon as I started to place them, everything fell apart.... I was panicking because I also saw a lot of dirt coming from the sand...
In the end, I fixed everything, and I had to change the whole aquascape. Now rocks are digged in the deep sand and overall look more balance with plenty of space around the rocks, more space for the fish to swim and I got an extra cave. Also, cleaning the walls gonna be much easier. After couple of hours water was cristal clean again. I hope you like it haha
What do you guys think?
