Jon Lazar July 21, 2008 Share July 21, 2008 Ok, so normally these threads chronicle the progress of someone setting up a new tank. I restarted my tank in April 2008 and it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLazar July 21, 2008 Share July 21, 2008 (edited) YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY The thread's here! I really like the tank from San Diego, Is the current tank what you have pictured? Or do you have corals and fish in it yet? Thanks very much Sam. This installment of our tank thread is sort of like Chapter 1. Jon has more text and pictures he's working on putting together and I'm sure he'll continue to post to bring the story up to date. To answer your question, yes, there are corals and fish now in the display tank and more corals/frags in the 55 gallon, as well as fish in quarantine in hyposalinity. Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. I think this tank set up will be the most amazing we've ever had.

tbittner July 21, 2008 Share July 21, 2008 That is a beautiful tank! I love the bent corners. Excellent job with the aquascaping too! I too am curious how you got the rock to stay together like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLazar July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 When dryfitting the rock, protect the surface you're going to be stacking the rocks on. I used an old moving blanket under a clear shower curtain I saved the last time I replaced it. I didn't want the rocks to chip/break if they fell over, or damage the counter. I used a left over piece of PVC and wrapped the edge of the shower curtain around it, the other side went over the open back splash piece. Cloths pins were used to close up the sides, creating a well that all the excess water collected into. It was pretty much mess free and when we were done I threw the plastic out in the trash. The blanket was thick enough to act like sand in holding the rocks stable. I really enjoy the aquascaping part of the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
