let me know what you think :)

sand will be here tomorrow :)

[dmweise]

Very nice setup. There's a lot of potential.

[Troutmasters02]

Sweet setup, might I suggest keeping the rock away from the class for cleaning?

[QuickSilver525]

ya i was actually thinking about that lol :) thanks for the advice though

[NeptunesGhost]

Does adding the sand after the rock improve stability? I've never tried that.

[Mr Cob]

Nice little nano you got there.

[The Butcher]

That looks just like the set up Darth Tater was selling. It certainly has a lot of potential, good luck.

[QuickSilver525]

lol :) that is correct :) darth tater sold it to me :) he is a great guy, super funny. i like adding the sand after the rocks are in place because it tends to hold them in place a little better. its really to your own preferance, lol everyone knows the rockscape is gonna change anyways so i dont think it really matters lol.

[QuickSilver525]

ok so heres an update with sand :)

[QuickSilver525]

[QuickSilver525]

Very nice! Did you take all the rocks out when you added the sand?

[QuickSilver525]

no, but when i re rockscapped the whole thing i pretty much did :) so kinda

[QuickSilver525]

hey guys so the cycle finally started i saw the spike in ammonia and now the waiting process begins :) anyways while its cycleing i figured i would mod it while i have the chance :)

so i changed the maxijet return from a 900 to a 1200, put the 900 in the tank for flow. will be getting the upgrade mod for the maxijet to create more flow. i broke up my huge rock i had in the back right corner and made rubble for chamber #1 and i split it in two to make two more rocks in the tank :) looks pretty cool to me. i also painted my pendant over the tank black :) looks awesome (got the idea from the guy at THE CRITTER SHOP here in san marcos) thanks bro. i also raised my light off of the water more to nine inches instead of 6. i was haveing a problem with heat so i thought this would help and it did. :) got a couple more mods going to be coming b4 the cycle is complete :)
