I'm back...34g solana rimless cube

[dailydriven911]

tank looks georgeous now but I always wonder about salt creep with those tanks? Still just learning here....

Yeah as far as the cords go I may get a little but it's easy to clean.

Nothin a wet rag can't handle

Tank looks awesome. Can't wait to see it set up.

 

[dailydriven911]

Thanks I'm still waiting for the water to clear up a bit and I'll be waiting at least 3 weeks before the rock cures to add the livestock

 

[dailydriven911]

Well I finally finished my aquascaping and I can say that I'm pleased with the outcome I can already visualize the corals I want to place on the rockwork. I'll post pics here soon...

 

[edwing206]

So you got any pics of the setup with the rock?

 

[dailydriven911]

Here are some pics still a bit cloudy because I messed with the aquascaping last night but you get an idea at least. I may change the aquaqscaping by adding a few more pieces of live rock and tonga branch so this is not the final product. Thanks for looking...

Looks great! Nice rockwork for that sized tank!

 

[dailydriven911]

I bought about 12lbs more tonight so it will probably look a bit different. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Water is still cloudy because of the new rock but I'm finally done w/ the aquascaping. Took me a few hours just to get it right but I'm happy with the results. I decided to do two tall Islands mainly because I needed more l/r in the tank and it provides more room for corals and better placement. It's a mix of kaelini tonga and tonga fusion. On to the pics...last one I used flash

I like it! Great aquascaping!

 

[Krish]

^^ I second it! make sure and get a shot when the tank clears

 

[nomercymike]

Jayson way to go. I cant wait to see some corals in it. You will be there in no time.

Thanks It was quite a job but I'm very happy with the results.

Thanks! It cleared up quite a bit I'll probably get a better shot tonight or tomorrow. I also think because my rock is curing, it's clouding the water a bit to.

Your telling me I have all these ideas running through my mind constantly but I know it will be at least a month or so before I can add anything. I need to add some sort of refugium as well to help with excess nutrients. Thanks Mike!

What a neat tank Jayson and glad you're back. And, the rock work is excellent. how did you get the towers to stay together? any help from PVC? glue? etc.

Yes I used a reef safe putty to join the rocks together. I forgot the name of the product but it worked great. It takes about 2-3 minutes to dry and once in water it will fully cure within 24 hours. I'll try to find my receipt...:lol:

oh yeah.. neat. may have to order some of that up when I grow the cahoonas to start my own aquascaping job. thanks for the tip.

 

[dailydriven911]

I updated a few things on the first post regarding fish choices and a refugium/sump idea. If anybody has any input/experiences with the fish please let me know good and the bad.

I'm also looking for a good skimmer, one w/ a small footprint and relatively cheap. Any ideas? I was thinking ASM Mini G or Aqua Euro 55 link>http://www.onlineaquatic.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=138. Possibly even a hob for the sump/refugium like the Aqua C Remora w/ mj1200.

Thanks,

Jayson
