Here are a couple of shots of some rock I picked up this evening. It's not live but has some nice shapes. Sorry the arches and small caves don't show up.

It's the space in the living room that I have to make. Not to mention take out the carpet and lay down some sort of hard surface flooring. Also want to put in a drain in case an accident happens and I need to drain down the tank. I've got a honey-do list that won't quit. I've got too many things I need to get done and too many hobbies to keep up with. 2 CNC machines, one in the build stage, 2 jet boats to be restored, and others. I hope to be able to set up the tank in the next week or so.
I'm going to try to get to that tomorrow or Sunday. I've got a 30 gal. Rubber Maid container ready for doing just that. That's only a part of the rock I have on hand. SOme of the stuff I have is base rock and I thought I would break it into smaller pieces for the sump.
Reading this blog has been enjoyable, and informative. I'm tempted to use this as a roadmap for migrating from freshwater/planted, to marine/reef. CoKe, what is your weekly (daily?) maintenance regimen? I've heard that tanks this size require constant monitoring. Do you agree?
I clean the glass daily to keep it as clean as possible(not necessary to clean the glass daily), dose cal and alk daily, feed the fish daily(not necessary to feed daily), and do weekly water changes. That's it. No, its really easy to maintain.
Same routine here. Although I feed everyother day.
My tanks except for one are smaller. I have a 55reef, 10reef and a 3reef. All are selfsustaining. No filtration or anything. Just LR and LS and a good CUC. I dont clean my glass daily because I like coraline. Although its out of control on my 10gallon. I need to work on that lol.
lol That's good it aint out of control in my tank because I clean the back too, which would be a pain in the but if coraline was out of control. lol
I love the look but my front on the 10gal is pretty covered. I need to take a razor blade to some of it. But I also have a wall of xenia growing too so I cant really use the magfloat all that much. And Im still waiting on my nimble.
