I like the rock work. Does the tank have a false wall in the back? What do you plan on keeping long term?
 
Nice looking start! Any chance of a FTS for us to see and gather a bit of whats going on total?
 
Doh just noticed that you had a FTS... musta jumped when transitioning through the photos :P
 
yes dougers31 it has a false wall in the back. i already have what i want.two clowns, two cleaner shrimp, lawnmower blenny, pajama cardinal, i also have two neon green btas. i would like more corals in the future. some birds nest.
 
ill add more pics tomorrow. some of what i did take are crappy. thats why i didnt add some of my btas and clowns
 
The way you hav eyour rocks laid out makes your tank look way bigger than 30G!
 
what all do you have for livestock in there now. I am a fan of the open rock work you did. How did you hold it together?
 
love the rock work...did you use any fastners or just epoxy on the rock..... plenty of places for the fish and inverts to swim and move around in which is a good thing, looks like you would have good flow all around iin there no dead spots
 
i actually dont have anything holding the rocks. i have two clowns, a blennie, black an white striped damsel, a pijama cardinal and two cleaner shrimp.
