Guess what! UPGRADE TIME

Bought a speedwave dc pump (690gph) today



Still undergoing vinegar bath:



Can someone suggest me how to clean off the vinegar residues afterwards?

Rinse it off with water. Not going to hurt anything. Consider it the first carbon dose of your new tank

Thanks for the heads up I was thinking that too but just wanted to make sure.

Time for some aquascape practicing:

These are the LRs which I recently bought; the 20Lb+ rocks in my tank is not in these aquascapes...will incorporate them on site

And the water in which the LRs are in:


There's a slight tint of ammonia, no nitrite and huge nitrate. The rock is alive The high nitrate and the slight ammonia is due to the sponges which were on the rock I guess. I decided not to change the water so that it keeps on feeding the rocks.

Let me know which rockwork kinda looks alright. Basically, that's the idea I am trying to work out; a focus point at 2/3 length of the tank and a smaller island on 1/3 length location. Trying to achieve something like this:



Ofcourse I can't achieve anything like this (done by Andre Silvestre) but that's my inspiration. Don't want mountains of rock in my new tank unlike the nano so that I can enjoy the fishes too
