Hi. Everything looks real good! Your aquascape is very nice, real atractive and will have lots of spots for some nice corals. I have a question though, how come you decided to put bio balls in this tank with so much live rock in it already? A nice big ball of chaeto in place of the bioballs would give much more added benefit!

Just an open suggestion which ever your choice good luck and everything looks great!

Thanks for your kindly words.
The bioballs came with the sump. I think bioball will help the cycle finished a little bit faster, then they will be replaced with something else.

Ah ok. Sounds good!

[rocketlily]

[bignose]

[karazy]

i love the aquascape!
so many tunnels and i love the top platform.
I bet you a cherub angel would love that tank :wink:

[JDigital]

Aquascaping looks great! I really like the Wave front tanks.

[Skimmerking]

tank looks amazing well done on the rocks first time around. oh ya if you want to get the tank cycled fast use 2 x bottles of HAGEN CYCLE that will help alot Ask Lance on here i told him to do it and it worked for him..
all y ou need now is a good quality skimmer and you are rocking

This is the 5th day of my tank.
As you see, the whole tank loos brown. All the rock are fully covered with brown algae. No water change by that time.
