Great start. I would create a little more of an arch on the left hand side in order to maintain some depth to the aquascaping - keep things from getting too 'linear'. The fish will like it too as they will have more to explore and swim around and through.

After hours of trying to secure rocks with cement and Failing
I decided to just aqua scape the old fashion way. Now I need some input on what you guys think I want to do a mixed reef with sps on top and everything else on the bottom. Also should I go bare bottom or put sand in?      Last edited by WarDog; 07-25-2017 at 04:28 AM.

Finally at 12 am I got my tank filled to where it can start to cycle.
Don't have the plumbing done for the return yet so only filled it before the overflow. Waiting for my little heater to actually get the tank to temp.  Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk

With work being so busy I was just letting my tank cycle
Today there was no ammonia Going to give it another week before I move over my fish first then corals. 2 chromis already swimming around feeling the new space. 2 out of the 3 lights are up and have been running for a while now. Skimmer is waiting for me to be picked up. Nyos 220. Will be picking up another gyre 250 pump for more flow. Projects for next week. 1) build some sort of shelving in the chiller section for power cable and doser 2) hook up the big uv 3) wire in lighting for the sump area. 4) setup an ATO 5) move the fish over from the 60. Plus buy a few more fish that I wanted to buy.    Last edited by WarDog; 07-25-2017 at 04:29 AM.

that's just my two cents. I like to look at my reef tank and see the same scale as I would when scuba diving.
Linear Mode
