GOOD REEF !!! That looks COOL!!!

[Glenner’sreef]

A 10 lbs. bag of Caribsea live sand, the 24” syphon tube from my Syphom hose and BAM! and my tank went from WOW to WOW x 3!
so I was noticing that my 2” sandbed in my 180 was looking a bit flat. Fish, crabs, snails and starfish slowly and over time leveling out the hills and “sand dunes” on my reefscape.
The wife was out getting a manicure and so I hit a lfs and grabbed a 10 lbs bag of live sand.
I knew that if I strategically placed some of this bag near the back of the tankscape, it would give the allusion of depth and dimension that was non existent with a flat sandbed. Boy was I right. This 10 lbs bag only covered about 10 % of my existing sandbed along areas of the back of my tank. Didn’t want to cover too much area. Suffocating a live sandbed could cause problems. It’s late. The lights are off right now. Can’t wait till morning to see it again.

Addicted to sandscapes!!! Added 10 lbs more. Love the clarifying liquid pack that comes with the live sand. The science and effectiveness behind it just amazing.

That is a really pretty tank. I'm totally here for the sand dunes. My tank has them ... but only because my Sleeper Goby created them. I'm about to move into a new DT. I appreciate the inspiration... I will likely follow suit. No reason that the sand needs to be flat! I think some dunes with macros would be awesome.
GREAT JOB!!!

Looking good! It’s amazing how much brighter it can make the tank look too.
