D&C 4ft Tank

[chercm]

Roughly when you think the Nitrogen Cycle will complete? Can't wait to see Steve's scaping skill... Most probably I will do mine myself... more personal that way

i just started added one small rock from the current tank and added bacteria to kick it off on the 12082006

Just started 2 days ago? Emm... it will take a while then... allow at least 2 weeks to be certain

With the bacteria starter, I heard that some brand can even reduce the nitrogen cycle to within 1-3days!!!

Special service provided by Steve from AM for your rock scape! I think Steve have the strongest backbone since he needs to do it quite often!!!

which brand ?

[lyz77]

Can't recall the brand name! Let me do a search to see if I have any link to it! But one thing for sure, if u use back the water and LR from your old tank, it will speed up the cycling process too!

PURA Nitratelock is for eliminating Nitrate, PURA Complete is combination of Phosphate remover and activated carbon. Both are good for maintaining optimum water quality but will not add bacteria to your tank.

Yes, old LR from tank is a good (very good) source of ready bacteria

Oh man!!! I love the huge pieces of LR... must call Steve now!!! How heavy are your rocks in total? I planned to put in 60kg... dunno enough or not

Can show a side view of your tank? Wanna see how the rockscaping is from the side

Very nice rockscape! .... and a very neat setup too!

[jervismun]

After seeing your rocks... I think I can throw mine already... my current LR is like small pieces of Lego If your tank is more than 2ft depth (not height), you will have a bit more room behind for better circulation... well can't have everything right? Your's is impressive enough

[colinsoon]

very nice work from steve.

[big_ben102000]

very very nice rock scape !!!

[godzillaliu88]

the rocks. are they very huge pieces?

very natural scape.

the lights seems to be more bluish.

[jervismun]

the lights seems to be more bluish.

Coz bro Cherm is using 2 Blue Plus + 1 Actinic tubes... personally I'm afraid the remaining 2 Aquablue Spezial + 1 Superwhite don't create sufficient PAR and PUR... but again depends on what bro Cherm intends to keep

i love the rock scape!!!!!!!!!! super swee!!

[ReDDeviLs]

the scaping like good for sps.

[honzo]

Great work!

Nice big rocks. The tunze not running? Pointing downward at the sand a little risky.

of course it is running .

[jervismun]

Looking at the position of the Tunze Stream 6200 and the scaping... I kinda understand why you were recommended a 6200 instead of smaller Streams. That's a good decision bro... I might do the same too for my tank as I might have trouble hiding all my 3 Streams (2 6000 + 1 6060).

Sometimes... we just have to listen to the expert

[speakerphone]

Must agree super nice rock scaping work. Thinking of revamping mine, do you guys do rescaping job only?
