I reacquascape my tank yesterday to try and solve my sand storm problem. I thought of taken it all out but decide to try moving it first, so I took all the rock out and move all the sand back toward the rear of the tank. Now it slop up toward the back and very thin layer in front. Thus far seems to be working, no sand storms.

Well since all the rock was out I thought I'd change a few things with my rock work. So what do you think? I included a before picture which is first.

I think both ways look great. It would be hard for me to chose which one is better. Great job though, mine never looks that good.

Thanks guys, I like the new aquascape better myself. Give a little variety in height. Caves are bigger and more of them. Should have better flow. I have two Koralia #4 coming to add flow in low area. Hopefully I don't create another sand storm.

I really like the new aquascape. Not sure about all those clams lined up though...a little unnatural looking imo.
Great job though

Both look great, actually. I though the "before" gave you more places to put corals, though.

Actually I feel that the new aquascape give me more places to put coral.


I've added a few more to my tank, tell me what do you think.

This a shot of my nano in my office. no form of filtration beside the caulerpa and the other algae, forgot the name of it. Just water change, maybe once a month. PTA carry water upstairs.
