Restarting my Reef

carlson · Mar 20, 2017

I went on an extended vacation and left someone else in charge of my tank while I was gone. When I returned the hair algae in my tank was bothering me and I felt hopeless as my parameters we not that far from perfect. I decided I was ready to start my tank over completely, and do things 100 percent right. I drained the 75 and sump, and laid out all the rick to dry. Now I'm beggining to re create my aquascape. If you subscribe to this thread I'll warn you and say that I will be consistently be getting new toys in the mail, but it might not be running again for a while. The reason for this is because I'm moving in the end of summer and I'm planning on this tank lasting a long time for multiple years, and it might not be worth it to set it all up and then move in the end if summer. Here's a picture if the aquascape I like the most right now. I'm going to go with black sand instead of white. The aquascape was inspired by the mountains in my favorite movie avatar. I wanted it to look natural but also not natural in a mystical way. What do you think?

Love the scape! I would say it is a smart move to wait until you move to set up again. It's a lot easier to move an empty tank then a fully stocked tank lol, and it gives you lots of time to think about stocking and equipment lists;)

Thanks that's right! I want to do everything as perfect as possible.
