Red Sea 350 Aquascape

Phixman · 02/23/2018, 05:40 PM

I have been anticipating this build for a few months and I have slowly bought all the equipment for it. I'm currently working on the aquascape for this tank. I still have some room to the right of the aquascape, the reason for this is because of all the live rock I have in my nuvo fusion that has a lot of beneficial bacteria and coral. Here is what I have so far... any thoughts, do you guys like it, should I change something? The middle structure is about 9-10 inches tall, I believe the 350 is 21 inches tall.

Looks pretty good. What are you using to attach the individual rocks? That seems to be the hard part. I am going to be redoing my rock work shortly.

As of now, I've only used quickrete, it seems to be doing decent, there are some joints however that come apart after the original joint, I think it has to do with the fact that I may not have added enough water to the quickrete mix. I also used some glue as well as BRS accelerator. I did order some aquastik epoxy for finishes for the arcs and whatnot which is where I plan on putting zoas. I got the quickrete from ACE Hardwares, it was about 20 pounds for about 6 dollars, opposed to the other quickrete which I found expensive going for about 50 for 10 pounds. Something to note is that I put sand once I had joint the dryrock so that the black/grayish color wasn't visible once in the tank.
