Congrats on mastering pic posting!
I can't tell what the bottom of the 29 gallon BC is...it looks like a one piece rock floor, which is unique. I like the cave you made for both tanks, I'm sure the fish do too.

Looking good so far.

The bottom is "universal rocks" aquarium background cut to fit tank
everyone who see's it cannot believe the way it looks ,plus easy to keep clean
i wanted barebottom but did not to see the bare glass so I think I got it right

Www.Universalrocks.com

Looking good so far.

Thanks I'm just taking it nice and slow trying not to rush anything

Wow, that is very cool for a realistic twist to the bare bottom tank. I guess if you ever get any sandsifters they will automatically have to take their chances with your "bully" fish in the 10 gallon.lol. Now that I see what you can do with the 'universal rock' it would be cool to do a multi level-multi medium bottom. It would really add dimension to the aquascape.

 

[Mechanic1]

In my option it looks realistic plus no sand storms and like you said I got the 10 for sand dwellers

 

[vlangel]

Yes, it was a very innovative method of dealing with sandstorms and such. Cudos to you for coming up with it!

 

[Mechanic1]

Thanks the hardest part of doing it was cutting the curve at the frt to get a good fit took a lot of very fine trimming
i cannot take all the credit for it the lfs suggested it no one else did it before I took the gamble and I think it paid off

Wow that bottom is slick, I wish I had known about this before. very cool.
Looks like the tank is moving right along. KEEP IT UP

oh and welcome to RF, Let us know if we can help.

 

[Mechanic1]

Thanks I think it's neat
Im open for suggestions for corals to help brighten up tank and give it the WOW factor

 

[vlangel]

It appears that you mostly have softies and LPS? There are some pretty neat acans that come in lots of colors! I like open brain coral too. Its hard to know what appeals to others. Color and movement is what I like although my tank is mostly green, reddish brown and pinkish. It has lots of movement bit could use more color.

 

[Mechanic1]

Your correct I have mostly softies&lps ,tried a few mushrooms just didn't make it in this tank
was told might be to clean of tank??
sort of thinking of something red and some gsp to grow on the back rock that stands up on back wall??

GSP is always a good one although not always easy to control. If you had it on a rock that should help but I'd keep it confined to its rock. Some favia (brain coral) come in red and I think that'd do well in your tank. They usually like good-moderate lighting and moderate flow. They will send out sweeper tentacles so can't be placed too close to neighboring corals. I have a nice red with green eyes favia called a war coral which I guess is indicative of its temperament!
