Sand Addition

---

Close up of Sand in Refugium..... AS said earlier I collected two different grain size sand......

Fine grain and white sand for DT, as it will give more bright look and will help for more reflection at the bottom of the tank and thicker grain for Sump..... because of less water flow in the chamber where DSB located I chose thick grain sand to let it oxygenate easily. Fine sand will cause to built up Sulphur problem.

Rock Work - Aquascape

Shifted all the rock from Warehouse to my home. As I mentioned earlier that I collected Dead rocks. I washed it with strong pressure fresh water, and cured them in quarantine tank for almost two months. The Coraline started to covering the rocks. I will take some close ups for you guys and will post here.

Rock Work - Aquascape

---

Joseph and Velvin made my work very easy. Special thanks for their helping hands.

I used 1/5" PVC pipe to make base for holding rocks. Made several holes in the rocks to tie up with cable tie.

At the end PVC pipe and ties covered with Epo Putty to make natural look.
