Chase's 31G Tank Starting to come together :D

[Chase31]

well the "aqua" color you see is a little lighter in the picture so we'll see how i like it of not its not hard to add a background

[Chase31]

just took the plunge!! (i think) well couldnt wait, went to AI and got two pounds of rock
(also would like to say so far they've been great! and i have not had any problems at all just amazing service.
(rest of the rock comes next week from Dez

my tiny two rocks

Love this one

I turned this one so it looks a little diff now

I love the red on this one

[Chase31]

Also what do you guys think about leaving the lights on? should i do 12 a day for 8 a day? or would i be okay with having them off?

[Chase31]

was just looking i have tube worms! like 3-4 of them, i really like there little heads, they look like feather dusters, there not bad right?

[Chase31]

well thought i might as well give a small update, getting rock sometime next week (calling and arranging on Monday) the sand is starting to get a red layer almost on it? not sure what this is almost looks like very tiny amount of rusting but i know its not, lots of critters on this rock, all very very small, some tube worms that poke their little fans out witch is cool, are these a form of feather dusters?

love the minimalistic approach, very classy! If you really want to make a statement, remove one of the rocks.

The film on your sand is probably diatoms. Pretty standard stuff for a new tank. It will die off as your cycle continues.

well i guess thats one way of putting it, but more rock coming next week, that one piece was to nice to pass up anyways
