I like your rockscape. Everything looks good. excited to see tank with a few more months growth.

tbar · 08/10/2007, 07:33 PM

I like the big cave. How many lbs. of rock do you have? I have a 6 month old 75 gal w/120 lbs of rock. I tried to make some tunnels and openings for the fish to swim thru. Click on the red house to see it.

j_beau_13 · 08/10/2007, 07:36 PM

i think its only around 75 lbs...i kind of lost count but its not alot

Looks great! I love the aquascaping. That should fill in nice.

magrath · 08/10/2007, 08:29 PM

Ilike the cave as well. I think you have a perfect amount of rock, IMO a lot of people put to much rock in their tank. Great Job!

skey44 · 08/10/2007, 08:44 PM

that looks like elkhorn monti. you should have plenty of it soon! Lookin good.

dareefking · 08/10/2007, 09:17 PM

I really like your little cave as well. I would add a couple more lbs. of rock but that's just me. I like to do 1.5 lbs. per gallon. I think your tank is great looking though with the little side portion of rock.

ACBlinky · 08/10/2007, 09:32 PM

What a lovely tank! I'm starting to think I have way too much rock in my tank (125lbs) - when I see tanks like yours, I like the open look. I've got a couple fish who are going to reach a fair size (YT and Lamarck's angel) that will need some more swimming room in the next couple years, so I may do some serious renovations to reach a look closer to what you've done.

Looks good! As for rock I'd leave it. I've spent most of last night and this morning getting rid of some. My tank somehow looked cluttered. If you have a larg enough sump you can always add some there for filtration.

I like it, looking good!

thanx...right now im more into corals then fish bc i just had to sell my true percs. they killed 2 anemones and were about to kill my hammer and frogspawn...

they hosted everything.

yellowwatchmen · 08/11/2007, 10:22 PM

Love your hammer

sixspeed · 08/11/2007, 10:47 PM

What type of bulbs are you running in your tek fixture? i am about to get one but the 4x54 for my 75 gallon and do not know what bulb configuration would be best.

Your tank looks amazing i hope mine will one day look like it.

Cave is sweet looking...What did you use? (Besides the perfect pieces of rock

)

j_beau_13 · 08/12/2007, 03:44 PM

sixspeed - im running 2 aquablues, 2 blueplus, and 2 super actinics. its just a tad bit bluer then the pics show.

serum153 - your basically right, just had to find the right pieces and i stacked them. i should have it epoxied but you never know when u might want to change the look.
