Added some Siporax and Marine pure. Calibrated all the old probes with no issues.
Did some cable management and brought the salinity up a bit.

Lol, it's a bit long, but does the trick at keeping vibrations down.

I've always loved the look of a floating aquascape and minimal rock in the tank, so I figured I'd go for that look this time around.
Found a couple pics online for reference. Not my photos, authors unknown.





First step was to locate some branch, which luckily enough, one of the boys in our local group had some surplus of. Thanks Joe Reefaddict!



Went to J&L, bought some Stax and a few extra fingers and came up with this.





Not 100% satisfied, but I'm sure it'll look better with some coral on it.



Finished it off with some Florida Crushed Coral, as I just don't like the look of bare bottom, sorry Rich.
The more I look at the tank, the more I think I should paint the back.



Top down's lookin pretty good.





Pretty much just waiting for some more cycle to happen then on to the lights.

Was referring to it's non Royal Exclusiv redness. It's length looks spot on!

Nice idea with the floating branch. Will take some time for that to pay off but I really enjoy the appearance of those tanks as well. There was a 'bonsai' titled thread on RC that did a really nice job as well but that was more of a vertical structure in a cube tank.

Edit: found it! https://www.reefcentral.com/forums/s....php?t=1288059

You planning to put a Canadian flag in the pole there?
