Cube tanks

[alimac122]

Hey all. I have a 97g custom cube tank.
My dimensions are: 30x30, 25 deep.

I ordered 40# dry rock off amazon, and I already have about 50 pounds in the tank. I was curious if any cube users could post photos of their aquascapes so that I can get an idea of how to scape my tank one final time. I want corals in a couple months, so anything with lots of good PAR scaping would be optimal! Check my build thread page 6 for the most recent photos of the scape (without the extra 40)

Just a heads up- make sure you really blast the heck out of that rock from amazon. I've used it before and you can't even imagine how much silt/sand is trapped inside the rock! If you have access to a pressure washer, definitely use it. It's amazing to compare how much came out from rinsing it in a tub vs spraying it with a high pressure garden hose/powerhead.

I have a garden hose with a jet spray head. will that be powerful enough or should I take it to a self car wash?

That should work- no need for a car wash Just make sure to try and get the nozzle into the crevices if you can and really do each rock one at a time turning over and spraying "through" the rock as much as possible.
