I stripped the old set up and cleaned the tank and moved it from my bedroom to my crammed living room as i want to be able to see the set up

and then off to Manchester to pick 13.5kg of live rock, actually bought a couple of extra kilos for a mates mantis shrimp tank but not sure whether I'll give him any. i got in late and just threw ths in this way and had some tea and wont mess with this till the weekend to see how I am going to scape it

But its coming on and Im excited :lol:
 
Wow that looks risky!!! Is that rock really stable like that!? :p :lol:

Lookin good though!
 
Whoa! You've been busy! No kidding!

If you could epoxy the rock into that position, it would be soooooooooo awesome.

I covet that top piece of rock. :drool:

L
 
I like that flat bit :wub:
 
ha ha hands off my rock :)

yeah its safe as it is there buut its not staying that way. not sure what to do with it all though when I get time next couple of days I need to take it all out and plan how to leave it I want shelves for my corals
 
But there are tons of places to epoxy corals too. I see lots of flat places.

Interesting to see what you come up with, though.

Oooooooo, you need to add yourself to meet the salties. :hyper:
 
I will be doing over the weekend in work at the moment and last night and tonight with the girlfriend so I have a whole three days off work this weekend with the kids so will get cracking on the tank and Meet the Salties
 
cant wait for tank #2 your first one was pretty cool!
 
cant wait for tank #2 your first one was pretty cool!
cheers pal I'll be more of a bargain hunter this time with less cash to splash but I think I;ll have a better idea of what I want this time
 
Watching with interest :good: nice scape!

cheers, the scapes not staying though. Ive not been checking journals out for a good while on here so will have a catch up on yours :good:
 
well Ive passed a piece of the rock to my mate as that was the plan he has a mantis shrimp tank in his living room

I find scaping really hard and have done this one and it will stay this way I think. Its functional more than anything as it provides spaces and ledges for my corals and theres space around the rock for me to clean the glass which is a problem I had with my last tank. Cant wait till it has coraline all over it it doesnt half look bare like this :)

1st critter pic is probably a majano anemone. Pests, but not as bad as aiptasia, at least IME. I actually like my two majanos in my 8g, they are really quite lovely. Ssecond is a baby mushy, third looks like a starfish of some type.
