Added dry rock to the tank

[Raysup88]

Finally added 10lbs more of dry rock been circulating in bucket for 3 days with about 3 changes a day zero dust or foggy water putting the rock in. Think I’m good now and have plenty of caves throughout. If anyone sees this aquascape as a negative please feel free to have some input

Looks good to me. The only possible negative I can see is that it looks like your rocks are sitting on top of the sand. That can end poorly sometime down the road, as diggers/tunnelers excavate under them. You can easily wake up to a rockslide and perhaps a cracked tank.

Id suggest making sure the bottom rocks are firmly seated on the glass instead. If you are concerned about the bottom glass, use small pieces of eggcrate to support them off the bottom but still under the sand.

hth!

yeah, as long as it's stable (meaning the rock is physically stable) and you can get a vacuum into the cave for cleaning then you I kinda like it.

Yeah I actually mash the rock slowly until it hits the bottom glass just for that reason lol. And I’m also going to get that syphin that has the skinny end to get into the rocks. Thanks guys

just remember that corals grow so you might get blocked depending on the corals you choose.

Well corals get bigger and eventually could block access to some parts of your cave system to be able to clean the same. And you don't want a time bomb brewing in there.
