Re: 150 gallon reef tank in the making
I am waiting the execution of the plan. Once it setup, I would like to see this tank.

Re: 150 gallon reef tank in the making
Thanks! I will be using the established rocks from my current aquarium. I'm also going to use a marine pure block in a dedicated chamber in the sump. Currently looking into multiple ways to achieve the aquascape. Options are between using epoxy, drilling rocks and holding them with zip tie and inserting acrylic rods. The main challenge would be with drilling live rocks because the window between drilling them and scaping them would be at most 1 hr or so before things start dying on the rocks.jack wrote:WOW nice project going on... for the rocks what is it you are looking into ?

With the marine pure block, keep a check on the aluminium levels. Have read mixed reviews about those especially if you plan to keep any sps.aquascapist wrote:Thanks!

1) why not mixture of artificial rocks and LR from your old setup ?
2) there are new rocks in market i forgot the name but are nice and can be used as nice aquascaping.. they are quite pricy though ... if you need any links do lemme know i shall get the contacts and other details... they are some german company
