Might try and get some rock up about a foot than put a couple big shelfs in there than build on them. Gonna be a he'll of a project.

I feel like I should be buying some stuff on this auction! 5 or 6 five dollar corals just to see if I can keep stuff alive! Hmm

You should take a look at the marco rock website for your aquascaping. You can buy their E-Marco mortar with their rock and build some really solid, cool looking structures. Also, take a look at their cherry picked, pre-made designs.

Cool ty

Yea, your going to need quite a bit of rock in there to scape it nicely.

Really thinking my clown trigger is gonna have to find a new home. He keeps flipping my snails over. Lol. Plus I wouldn't mind some smaller fishies. Clowns and blennies or whatever. He's so cool though ugh! Maybe a powder blue also.

He's flippin them over cuz he's trying to eat them.

Probably. I got some empty turbo shells in there he plays with all the time. He's been super nice to all the other fish though. Blue legs don't seem to be getting eaten and the two peppermint shrimp I put in for apistasia have made it 3 months without becoming food. So Idk.

So my cheato from lfs came with grape calpura and something else in twined in the ball. Should I be a anal and go pulling the extras out or just be like sweet extra plants lol.

Pretty sure the conch snail I added to the fuge just ate one of the other snails today lol.

RM another crazy idea I just had. But anyways I'm gonna order 100 lbs of rock and grab some live shelves from the lfs. To do this aqua scape next month. Thinking about pulling my skimmer from the sump and putting my fish down there for 2 days. Just cycle the water through from the return section to both the skimmer section ie where the fish are and the fuge. Meanwhile I can pull a bunch of water and drill the tank install a reef box and scape them thing. Best idea I can come up with since I'm working backwards a bit. Work? No work? Lol

Yup, that'll work bud. Bath tub is another alternative.
