Pictures of just your liverock aquascaping...for a SPS tank

tangdiver · 01/02/2009, 10:57 PM

Would like to see pics of the piles, arches, and outcroppings of your liverock before life was introduced. Please post as many as you can.

This thread for myself and other to see different ways of aquascaping.

thanks,

Grant

Wow. Nice.

Logzor · 01/03/2009, 12:02 AM

Thanks! This pic is a lil old but I just added a bunch of small acros from a local collector. Now I just have to wait for things to fill in.

Rock is from bulk reef supply.

t5Nitro · 01/03/2009, 12:03 AM

Did you drill and use PVC?

Logzor · 01/03/2009, 12:06 AM

Drilled and used driveway marker rods (fiberglass?) and silicone.

these are a couple months into the life of my tank.. the pics are from august. I used two part epoxy to stick the rock together.

Not my tank, but I helped with it. We scaped it completely dry with all artifical rock.

I have changed mine at least 3 times in a major way since it was originally setup...so "before" pictures would do no good.

Trying to build a large tank for zoo here and have alot of small crappy rock to work with. Do not want just a wall....

My 5' 120. I have had water in it for a month now. I used Bulk Reef Supply rock exclusively.

Did you use only BRS rock? No live rock? If you did, how long did you wait before adding corals? Just wondering on how long I should wait! I'm trying to be patient but its not one of my strong points

60Cubed · 01/03/2009, 10:03 PM

Not the best pic. I don't know how you guys get the clear FTS.

Yes, I used only BRS rock. I soaked it for a month in a tub of water in the dark. It took out some of the gunk but I should have soaked it longer and did a real "cooking".

I waited exactly two months before adding fish and corals.

Thanks for the nice comments about my tank!
