Mt First Full Tank Shot

[Matthew5664]

As you can see I've gone for the cave on the left and the pile of rock look on the right, the latter of wich I'm very please with

Any pointers on the scaping are welcome, if you gonea shoot me down be nice I have feelings to

 

[helsekia]

if it was me id put a plain black background on and some plants in but then it depends on your fish doesnt it.I like the rocks and cave they are great.job well done

Looing good, although maybe some more Live Rock in there?

Just one point, your powerheads are pointing directly towards each other. This will rather than creating lots of indirect flow and turbulance will actually make dead spots of flow in the tank. You should find the flow much more efficient if you either position the pumps to make a one-way flow or buy yourself a "powerhead wave machine"..

Thanks guy's,

helsekia> The back ground is reversable so could put it on the black side but thinking it may be a pain in the ass! As for the plants I'm going to be getting corals soon.

fishkiller_nomore> Yep seaweed! its the cuttings out of my sump. Overthe past cople of months its grwoen so much I've put some in the main tank and some in a seperate tank ( about 40l ) and thats nearly full. Again with the background it's a pain now its on but we'll see.

bunjiweb> The power heads are deflecting off the rockwork, I didn't like the linier flow that gave and thought this would be a good way to solve it. I trying to get around the "one-way flow" and as for a wave mech I think there a bit pricy for what they are (timers) but I'll have more of a look into them.

What fish are going in there?

 

[Matthew5664]

Don't know what else to put in? Got to N. Magnifica

But as for what else well.................. fancy a blenny of some sort but still thinking

What to you think?

My girlfriend wants clownfish, but thats just Nemoitus

looks great

 

[fish_keeper2]

looks good. i agree that a black back ground would be better. also make sure the top is covered, firefish are good jumpers and ive lost on due to it jumping. btw how big is the tank and how much LR you got. IMO it looks like you need more.

 

[Neal]

Very nice, but I bet it was pricey!

 

[Matthew5664]

the flowering is bits on gravel thet the 'seaweed has rooted to.

As for the tank its 40G's with a 10G sump. I have about 15Kgs of LR in there.

And in the price issue I totaled it up one day and I'm at £480

 

[fish_keeper2]

i belive you usually want 1/2kg per gal so i would get more LR when possible. other than that it looks great. good luck.
