This is going to be my tank journal with pics thread.
Tank is 90G cube 30x30x24.
Sump is Eshopps ADV-200 plumbed through the floor situated in the basement.
Its a four sided viewing tank with the overflow placed where the pillar is situated. Took about two weeks of cementing these marco rocks together with E-Marco 400 aquascaping cement.
I'm going with a single Jebao SCP-90M for water flow in the tank for now which has already blown away all the sand on the opposite side.

Nice!

Excellent job blending the tank into that space!

My only critique would be to ditch that free-standing rock, just my personal opinion. Nice rock work all around.

Very nice to have tank front and centre in your living space. Look forward to seeing its progress

Looks great! Have you decided what corals you will be placing in the tank?

Looking at 4 to 5 sps for the top pieces and lps on the lower regions.
That's the plan for now..........

Sounds like ���� fun!

[Scythanith]

Absolutely fun a creative rockscaping, good on you for tackling that task with a vision.

Had the tanks running empty for 2 months Nov and December.
Finally decided to buy some fish on Boxing Day and over the next couple months, put two batches of fish through the QT process with copper power, general cure and fenbendazole.
Current inhabitants:


Yellow / Powder Blue / Purple Tang
Midas Blenny
Black capped basslet
two black onyx clowns
orange back fairy wrasse
lubbock's wrasse
bangaii cardinal
70 trochus snails


RIP - in total bought 6 dartfishes (firefish x 4, scissortail, blue). 3 firefish that fought each other to death. The other 3 all jumped and I can confirm that dartfishes can fit through 1/4" mesh even though they look like they physically cannot.


March and April started adding corals into the tank. It will be a mixed LPS/SPS tank.

Beautiful rockwork , is it totally stable? Remembering coral gets heavy as it grows. Excited to see this grow..
