Can't wait to see them in the tank.

It is taking a lot longer than expected :cry:
Work has been over whelming and leaving no time for fun :cry::cry:

How about a FTS/update?

Sorry, nothing new to show.

Oh man sounds like a cool project gotta tag along.

 

[Invert]

It has been awhile since my last update.

The stand is built and painted,
The recirculating system is complete,
I am waiting on a couple of bulkheads to complete the Supply / Return plumbing.
The two rock structures are complete.

Here are a couple of pictures.

Here is one of the rock structures

Looking good bro.....

 

[Invert]

A few updates

I finally have the Aquascaping complete.
Take a look.

A couple of top down views

There should be plenty of real estate to mount my Ricordea.
I may have a couple that I will not have room for so I have started to sort them out.

Great Aquascaping!!! Question, what paint did you use on the PVC?

That is the illest aquascape I have ever seen, hands down like I almost fell on my face.

Just saw your thread

the time you have spent collecting and placing rock has well paid off

What a great home for rics, or any other animal

If you are going to do it, do it right and be different.
Normal is boring.

It seems like it has taken forever to get this far.
But after seeing the finished product in my tank, it was well worth the time

collecting and placing rock

There are only ( 2 ) rock structures,
A lot of pieces and a lot of Aquamend.

Its Ok, I am under a Doctors Care.
And he says I am doing better, but I will need a little more medication

Neither can I.

I will attempt to add a few Yumas.
The Lighting and Flow may be a little to much for them.
But, I will give it a try.

If they do not melt before I complete the build.
These 2 will be my first test subjects.

 

[Azurel]

I love those yumas......I need to add a few more......

Nooo doubt. The rockwork is amazing!

 

[Antonias1391]

WOW ive never had a ric or yuma yet but now im gonna have to get one my next LFS visit!!! your aquascaping is great as well!

 

[sks4613]

+1 on the sick scaping.. that is nuts. Colin is the best. It's about this time of year they run 10 for 99 shipped. Order two or 3 packs and I always got 12 per pack plus a boatload of blue legs.
Was curious what caused the crash of 09?

 

[sks4613]

I look at the rockwork and just see to many shaded places for chalice frags as well!

I want to make love to your aquascape.

I want to make love to your aquascape.

Check on Jaque Cousteau quotes sometime. Hes got a really funny one that goes something like "Some people make war with the ocean, I make love to it". I almost fell off my chair laughing when I read that.
