Hey guys,

After a long deliberation, I decided to go ahead with the removal of my liverocks for my 3 ft to get rid of all the pests. The crabs were wacking my corals and toppling them over and i finallyg ot sick of it. Managed to find 3 crabs among some worms and stuff.

Here are some pictures of my rescaping efforts and also to heed the advice from some of the brothers on not letting any of the rocks lean against the glass.

Comments are most welcomed.

Cheers

P.S: Sorry for the blurred images due to sediments not settled down yet as well as poor photography.

Just some tank specs.

Livestock: 1 X purple tang, 1 X blue tang, 2 X blue eyed anthias, 2 X cleaner shrimps, 1 X algae blenny, 1 Formia, 1 X sand shifting star, 1 X sea hare, 1 X sand dollar.

Lights: 4 X T5, 2 X white(aqua-light) and 2 X actinic pro(aquaz)

Looking to add 1 more yellow tang and 3 more blue eyed. Of course if you can see the left side is quite empty, will be adding more cyanrinas and some zoos at the bottom.

Comments please.

Thanks jervis, been following your thread since your nano and yeah saw your clam haha.

Yes, the positioning of the clam is not very ideal (IMO). I think clams look best when position slightly upright with the larger "mouth" at the bottom. When I introduced my first clam, I position the big mouth on top "terbalik" luckily a bro spotted my pix.

You notice the colours are not as nice looking through our tank glass? If you want damn "power" photo shoot, off the filters and shoot from above the tank
