thanks! I've seen your pics too...they're very impressive! I will probably add some live rock in the near future, but not initially. I know it's much easier to cure the stuff when nothing is in the tank, but my LFS is like $8/lb. I've put a lot of money into this tank so far, and I need to hold back for a little while. I do hope I have a good start, though...I will stock this thing VERY slowly, so there is plenty of time.Robbie, it looks amazing! I see some tunnels for the fish, and some great platforms for corals. Beautiful.
As for the live sand, I think what you have planned would be fine. I would suggest taking out your decorative shells and stuff in the front that you don't want covered in sand first, and then you can put them back in front. The large shells are great! You have some amazing coral skeletons that you can really showcase.
Great job!
Are you planning on purchasing any live rock to put in the tank?
My seven year old was helping me set the rocks and shells, and he was busting to put some of the shells we collected at the Outer Banks this year in the tank, so we did. I will scoop all the little stuff up when I fill it and reset it. But, we were just having too much fun and couldn't stop throwing stuff in.
thanks for the comments!
