Real reef ready mix box ?

[ironmnki]

I just ordered a real reef ready mix box I hope it will be enough afor a decent aqua scape in my Fluval flex 32 sea .

Anyone have any images of aquascapes they can share that ordered same box I’d love to get some ideas?

I will unfortunately be building with super glue gel tube and epoxy under water because I couldn’t wait to start my tank and cycled it.

I would still probably try to build it on "dry land".

 

[I never finish anythi]

I would definitely do it dry out of water . More flexibility. Doing it underwater is a challenge

Not sure how cycled your tank is if you don't have any rock in there yet
While I'm far from an expert I have built a few scapes. I could not even imagine trying to build one under water. Gluing corals down is challenging enough.

EDIT: I'm hoping that you couldn't wait means your schedule would not allow you to wait. If it means your impatient and couldn't wait then you may want to take a step back and think about this hobby because patience is the most important trait a reefer can possess IMO. If you have little or none work on developing some or this will me a miserable journey. This is spoken from experience

I cycled my tank with live sand and fish cycle with two clowns and microbacter xlm protein skimmer off and small amount of daily feeds. I monitored my ammonia spike and nitrates and by day 5-6 back to zero .

The problem I see with this is sand doesn't really offer much surface area for bacteria to colonize. Typically people cycle with the rock in the tank so the bacteria has a place to grow. Not saying your method won't work but I would be careful and go very slowly adding more livestock and give the bacteria time to populate the rocks.

I plan to slow down , I used clowns because they are hardy fish but don’t plan on introducing any more for a few weeks after aquascape and when I do they will be hardy fish first.
