I think it looks fantastic!

[Vadafallon]

Thanks Sugar! Took a lot of hard work. Worked on this thing for a good 7 hours i think lol. Been a 3 month project though.

[dzfish17]

I agree, it looks great. I wouldnt change a thing.

[TucanSam007]

Yeah seriously the aqua-scaping is perfect. It has a lot of potential. What type of livestock are you planning? Love the radion btw ;)

[jefstathiou]

Great job! I also have a 60 cube and am still working on the scape. I think I need you to stop by for a few hours. Congratulations on a really nice job.

[username in use]

That looks awesome.

[Jerry W]

Really looks great!

[raylost]

Great Job! Looks awesome!

[biggregreef]

looks great

[edward45]

I like it allot, you wan a come over and do mine?

[tandldel]

Looks great!! When you say moved to this tank what did you move from?

[scoly]

Looks awesome!! I have a cube that looks close to the same! How does that radion light it? How far off the water do u have it? I ordered one for mine, should be here next fri. Can't wait! Will keep following to see progress!

[Vadafallon]

I moved from a 60 gallon tall and wide tank. I think it was a marine land. I have a lot of live rock leftover. I am planning on putting some in the sump/refug area too.

As for what i will be adding to this tank. I would love to get a Anemone for my clowns and i still have to catch my Goby to move him over. He is a tricky. I would like to put a few stoneys up top, and i am not really sure what else. A few more fish, maybe a clam and some LPS.

Having the light has really opened up my possibilities. My first goal is to get this thing up and running perfectly. I am having to fix a crack in a divider in my sump. =( 48 hours to cure sucks... the waiting is killing me.

[mpongrac]

I really like it. Planning on moving to a 60 cube here myself in the next month or so, hope my aquascaping turns out as nice as yours

[Vadafallon]

Thanks mpongrac. My girl and i worked pretty hard on it. My first thought was i was going to drill it and connect it with rods but that did not work out. Drilling takes forever! So we just used puddy, glue and zipties. ZING!

[Vadafallon]

Here are a few more pics. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomaswhudson/6871582191/" title="photo(19) by oosalx, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7046/6871582191_2d4c1f9433.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="photo(19)"></a>

[rainmkr07]

It looks very awesome. Wouldn't change it at all!

[Vadafallon]

I am proud like a daddy =) Frikk and Frakk appreciate you liking their new homes hehe. Now i gotta get me some SPS and some other beauties.. oh yes and catch that slippery goby. I need to build a trap or something..

[mpongrac]

Yeah, I'm thinking when we make the switch to buy some nicer rock to use for a nice show piece. I'm just having a hard time finding a 60 cube, might have to end up ordering one from LFS. Where'd you get yours?

[Reef264]

Good looking Rockwork Meeho!

[Vadafallon]

My tank is a Deep Blue and i got it from a LFS. I had a Marine land, but i found out it was leaking so i drained the sucker and took it back. Got this one and i am damn happy about it. Plus this has low iron glass and is super clear looking. =)

Thanks Reef264!

[jarrod13]

Wow! I have a 60 cube as well and that looks ways better than mine, I just have a rock pile pretty much in the middle of the tank. I couldn't really dp too much with mine though due to corals covering the rocks, so there wasn't a lot of options.

I'd like to see some straight on shots from the front and sides if you dont mind ;-)

[Sm1nts2escape]

Love it!

[Curious George]

I have a Deep Blue as well and love it. I had reservations at first because of the low price and lack of feedback, but I would happily buy another again,

Very nice scape!! Very dynamic.

[Agu]

Great looking aquascape :thumbsup: .

[skimace7]

Love it..!

[wiz careefa]

that is real nice...

[Vadafallon]

Just picked up a few Ricordia last night. I love those things. =) I also scoped a few awesome sps frags i would like to add to the top of my tank. I really need to get my auto top off rolling =) Finally figured the perfect level in my sump last night lol.

[cabbagehead]

I just bought the same tank. Your aquascape is very nice. I was wondering what you used for a sump and also how you like your Vortechs.

[Nonameben]

Let see some pictures of the ricordia!
Love the aquascaping, seriously that looks fantastic. Did you connect the rocks with anything or did they just fit perfectly like that?

[xmetalfan99]

Tank looks great. I am in the process of getting one of the 60G cubes up and running now as well.

[madbomber]

Great job! More pics!

[Vadafallon]

I used a apoxy, glue and zip ties to get them to stay together. They sort of fit too though.

Also its my bday and i am 37 today lol. Woot.. ok, i am drunk.. going to bed. Ricordia pics and other pics with my good camera soon. =)

Night!

[Vadafallon]

Well things change. This is how it looks now. Lots of new stuff and Frick and Frakk are gone to a buddies house. They kept killing my fish i put in lol.

Lots of caves and stuff and i still dig it. Not as artsy but i think its the jam.

Wow going back and looking at this makes me sad. MY rock work fell at some point lol. I have been fighting a nitrate issue and realized that it was my crushed coral. Never been vacuumed and just has been a nitrate issue. Yesterday i pulled everything out and i have redone everything. I will post some pics later.

[moondoggy4]

Yes yes yes I love the aquascaping.

[Vadafallon]

Here it is as of today. https://flic.kr/p/K5AQBD

[Vadafallon]

This is what happens when you let the Nitrates get nutty and don't do water changes like you should. Everything starts to whither away.
