What will the pieces of lighting material attached to the wall be for? Going to mount LR to it or what? Guess I understand why on the bottom but, not so much upwards.

Thanks for the comments.
The eggcrate is just to provide more water flow through the back of the rocks helping with detritus(sp), and to provide support to the LR. I'm going to use marine epoxy to secure the LR to the eggcrate. I have an extra sheet of acrylic behind the eggcrate so I dont get the marine epoxy on the tank itself (it probably would not come off). I used Great Stuff to adhere the sheet of acrylic to the tank, and the eggcrate. Great stuff will come off of acrylic. I did some tests to make sure. My tank is 18 inches deep in the center but only 12 inches deep on the sides. In order to make the most of the space, I decided to stack my rocks with more height than width. I'm rookie at this, so we will see how things go. Mark Last edited by Sundiego; 07/29/2007 at 09:20 PM. |

Looks like a great start. What kinds of fish and corals are you going to try?

Currently I have a 6 line wrasse, and a lawnmower blenny in quarantine. I would like to get a blue hippo tang, and 2 clowns as well. As far as corals go I will start with some soft corals like zoos, and mushrooms, and then when I get better at this some sps. I would also like some clams. I'm just looking for colorful life.
I got some aquascaping tips from a book called The Reef Aquarium, art, science, and technology by Julian Sprung...it’s a great book. The LR is from a wholesaler in LA. I have a friend that has his own tank maintenance business, so he hooked me up. There is about 190lbs in there. Thanks for all the comments. Mark |
