Default Rock scaping!

Handsdown Albert has some of the best rock scaping ideas around.


The inspiration of the rockscape was from a FW Discuss tank I found online that was minimal, driftwood arranged like a fan and only sand. Simple but elegant.

Default Filling the tank and curing

Last December I filled up my tank with RODI water, mixed the salt, seeded zeobak,VSV and ammonia to kick off the cycle.

Once the new year came around did a test for NH4 and it was good. 100% water change and time to start stocking!


Think I'm off to a good start here!

Default Finishing touches

I still need to build a skin around the stand to close it off and reduce the noise from the pumps.

liveestock right now in the tank are:

2 open brain corals
1 frogspawn
1 birdsnest
1 fungia
1 tyree toadstool

Overall I am very happy. The tank by concept is awesome. Patience is the best equipment you can get and its for free!

Looking forward to posting updates as this tank evolves!
