I was working all day yesterday and today trying to figure out my aquascape

feel free to comment
Basically I made three island two of them are connected with a arch also one of the islands have a cave that's going to be lit with a blue led so it can give a special look to the cave also as you can see the 2x4 is the overflow but when I put into the tank iam taking off the wood the overhanging piece is going to be connected to the overflow

I think it's perfect man, lots of caves for fish and different tiers for corals.

Not sure about the flying arc on the 2x4 but the rest looks good. Very dynamic design.

That arc is what I think we'll like the best because once the corals have begun to grow it will blend in like its not there.the 2x4 will be removed once I put it all in the tank it's just there for the moment

dave.m · 09/21/2014, 06:55 PM

WHAT?!?!?!?! No 2x4???

Great structures! My only thought would be to work in a 5::3 ratio both horizontally and vertically. That might mean combining two of your structures and creating a more pronounced "canyon." Just a thought

Nice build...subscribed.

snipersps · 09/29/2014, 10:32 AM

muttley000 · 10/19/2014, 08:10 AM

That is a very nice stand! Looks to be another epic build, I'll be following along!

snipersps · 11/06/2014, 07:17 PM

well sorry it took me so long to do an update
but i am back now. here are some pictures that i took of my tank

Tank inside the house

skimmer

.

My friend Hieu is helping me with the plumbing

snipersps · 11/06/2014, 07:36 PM

here are some more pics of the plumbing

table work station

plumbing ready

Oh BTW the tank has 3 holes on the back im using two of them for my chiller (feed and return) the chiller is connected to a different pump i decided to do it this way because if the main pump fails i know that the pump from the chiller will continue working and the water wont get hot and its also going to have flow inside the tank

for the main return im using a water blaster pump 12500 connected to three wavyseas one inch each one and also im going to use some 6105 tunze and whatever i can find to add more flow

My friend Hieu make a custom base for the wavesea

snipersps · 11/06/2014, 07:40 PM

waterblaster return pump 12500
it looks small on tje pic but honestly is big with a lot of power
