I might still be in the middle, depends on final rock placement. Originally I envisioned couple of islands towards right back corner with most of front and left side left open, free of rocks. I really don't like anything symmetrical and putting light a little of center to the back, would add a unique look to the whole set up. I guess I will see how everything looks when I have it all together.
I have plenty of space behind sump for dosing containers and ATO container. I will install a shelve on back wall above sump for dosing pump. I think I will be fine,if not I will have to go with smaller sump.
Thanks for your opinion Chris, I know everybody has a different style. I want less rock to give more room for SPS to take over in few years, hoping to see the long term vision. Just like you said it should fill with corals and look better in time.
Thanks Walt, hope one day it will look great just like your little tank!
Thanks but I am still trying to catch up to your old tank!!Thanks Walt, hope one day it will look great just like your little tank!
I think he said it will have substantially more LR in the sump.
Thanks Nino, I am sure yours will look spectacular too.I'm using 2 Cerameco Bonsais and 1 cerameco knife in my tank
Nice choices in rocks Mark
I got mine from The Average Guys that were sponsors here.
It could be an issues as you said if the stock levels were high and a lots of feeding. This rock is very porous, there will be a lot of surface for bacteria. But like I said in one of the above posts ,I will have additional amount of rock in sump to make sure the biological filtration is working properly.
Exactly!
Since Mark is going back to using sand he will still have alot of surface area for bacteria. He's gonna have liverock in sump too. I've seen plenty of minimalist aquascapes that look great and have plenty of fish.
