I need you to........................................................................

MikePowell · 02/12/2009, 04:52 PM

I need your help in choosing whether or not I keep my rock work how it is, or change it.

I recently ran into some major problems with my tank so instead of fixing them I decided to take this opportunity to rearrange some rocks and start fresh.

Look at the pics and let me know what you think. If you do like them then please tell me, if you don't also tell me the reason why and suggest a different placement.

I like polls so lets make this a poll!!

MikePowell · 02/12/2009, 04:53 PM

Blah! lame poll thing skipped. w/e

MikePowell · 02/12/2009, 04:55 PM

MikePowell · 02/12/2009, 06:27 PM

dartmti · 02/12/2009, 06:32 PM

I like it a lot the way it is now.
The only thing I would change/add is the bare spot in the center of the back. I think adding a piece on the floor of the tank in that spot would make it better.

Good luck!

Acan Lord · 02/12/2009, 07:24 PM

I wouldnt change a thing! Looks great

Brandon's Reef · 02/12/2009, 07:31 PM

Firefish3 · 02/12/2009, 07:37 PM

h20 freak1 · 02/12/2009, 07:45 PM

I
LOVE
THAT GAME

MikePowell · 02/12/2009, 08:49 PM

Thats what I was thinking but I just wanted to make sure before I finalized it.

dartmti- "The only thing I would change/add is the bare spot in the center of the back. I think adding a piece on the floor of the tank in that spot would make it better."

That space is going to be used for a suncoral.

Brandon's Reef- "id make it higher if you could"

I would but I plan on mainly keeping SPS so I like to leave the space for them to grow.

Firefish3- "Looks Nice.Post Pics later with Water and Corals please"

All in good time =)

h20 freak1- "I

It is a bada** game and I cannot wait until part two! =))))
I hope they dont screw it up and make it all gay and corny.

BTW: I am using black sand for my substrate. I know of the keeping it clean factor but wanted to try something different. I really hope that it will make some of my corals I have near the sand really POP.

The tank is cloudy alittle bit so I'll post pics of the tank with sand and water tomorrow.

dball711 · 02/12/2009, 11:40 PM

I love it and think it will look spectacular with the coral arrangement you describe. If it were mine the only thing I would make an allowance for is clearance to clean the side glass but I'm one of those that keep my glass spotless.

I believe he has one of thos micromagnet cleaners so he should be fine... I really, like the setup & the black sand!!

MikePowell · 02/13/2009, 10:01 AM

Why yes I do have a nimble cleaner. Thanks for the help everyone. I'll post a new thread with a build log.

harleychic · 02/13/2009, 11:06 AM

looks great! Definetly more pics when there is other stuff in there!

mnml · 02/13/2009, 12:55 PM

i like it but i think the rock on the left side would look better if it was smaller. i like the right side since it slopes higher as it nears the top. i think it'll give the tank a deeper depth perception.

Bernie21 · 02/17/2009, 08:44 AM

Any updates??
