New rockwork

[crobattt]

Well I got 80 pounds of rock last night, and didn't even come close to using it all. I have put in what I think I needed and have a lot left. Anyways, what do you think of my rock work?

Lot of visual interest, looks like u have lots of places for coral. What's your lighting set up?

I like it! IMO I would take out the "bridge" at the top middle to create almost two separate structures..

I wouldn't have enough space for anything i wanted to put in if i did that, that was actually the first thing i tried. but i like the outcome i have personally

Edit: Excuse the crappy picture btw, it's from my phone.

Take just the middle shelf off

I might try it later, i just cut my knuckles, and i really don't want to get anything infected, but i will def see what it looks like.

You work fast

 

[crobattt]

and i still have a lot left &gt;_&gt; how are the fish?

Looks good the top shelf will help you house more high light sps (lights t-5?)
Are you using eny form of fastener to hold the rock (threaded rod or epoxy?)

Nope, as i was putting the rock down i put pressure on it from various sides to make sure it was stable. if it gets starts to move i def will.

From the new pictures it looks like most of your rock work is in the shadows from the lights. Are all your lights on in the pictures???? Would you not want the front surface of the rock work to be exposed to the light??? Just my two cents.

 

[crobattt]

I only have a fixture with two bulbs right now, but this week i should be getting an 8 bulb fixture that should hopefully light up the back and front.

I think thats just initial algae growth, highlighted by the reflection from the light

Nice rockwork, what is that thing magnet clipped to the front?

 

[crobattt]

it's a veggie clip made by two little fishies or something like that, it's so much better then the suction cup ones, barely put my hands in the tank anymore.

If you're close to Aquarium Outfitters in Athens they have some.

again, in these pictures, i had a two bulb fixture, and it was on the back of the tank, i'm getting an 8 bulb t5ho fixture that will light up the shadows..

 

[crobattt]

ah ok
