Newest scape pictures are updated, all pics are organized by date... still not done, but getting closer!! Also added 6 Blue/Green Chromis today so, it's officially a fish tank!

Pics are blurry due to playing with the pumps and rearranging rock, not to mention improper lighting and a phone camera!

I'm thinking about pulling the farthest left piece on top out of the display and the bridge that connects the tower to the other structure on right... It will break up what I need, I think.

Check it out now.. I redid a few pieces.. like a hybrid between the first one and the last one.

Got the GFO and GAC hooked up and rolling. Just waiting on some signal of a complete cycle...

sure is clear in the last photo, I will have to see in real life as far as decor goes, pics are hard to appreciate the 3D of design

That last picture was taken during day time.. Lighting is killing the pictures... I can't wait till those Aqua Illumantion LEDs show up!

Lost one of the Blue Green Chromis today... It was the one that never hung with the group anyhow.. I'm thinking it's unrelated to the tank. Ammonia isn't showing up on the strip neither is Nitrite or nitrate... I have an advanced nitrate test kit showing .75ppm nitrate... Guess I'll keep waiting.. I may add some more chromis on tuesday. I want a school of 11 or so anyhow.
