Progress on my tank.

Analogies · 03/01/2008, 08:48 PM

Picked up some Fiji today and did some aquascaping.
Still waiting on my 14" I4 to come, they said it should be here next week.

I'm looking forward to winning one of the months with this tank.

I hate fiji it looks like it is hard for corals to spread on it. Cool set-up though is that a custom tank?

I think if you get some glue, anything is possible.

It is a custom tank. 16x16x20H. Can't wait to get it done already.
After the lights I was thinking about a controller but I'm still trying to figure which is best for my $$$.

That looks more like tonga branch than fiji..

Looks great.

Just remember: Tonga branch(what you have) doesn't have the filtering ability as fiji or other boulder type rocks because tonga doesn't have as much surface area for bacteria.

Looks good so far. Good luck on winning =)
It'll take time.

I think you're right, it might a mixture of both. I put some pictures below with a crappy light on it, maybe you can tell better. I have the sump below and plan to put a little bit more live rock with some chaeto. I also have a tunze nano 9002 runing.

I like the tonga branches. I think I see one piece of fiji in there. Was that purchased at a lfs?
