Aquascaping ur live rock


Recommended Posts

Books on aquascaping? ... if you are looking for a similar Takashi Amano version for marine tanks.. I am sorry there is none.

You can search through ReefCentral.com for reef racks or LR supports.

There are some aquarists who have DIY such things in place of base rock.

I am personally using PVC for my reef racks. You can check my new tank thread, I have some photos there.

BlueTerror.. if the LR is too big, you can use dynamite. :rolleyes: Yes, of course you can!

Wedgee.... I am planning to aquascape my refugium ala my old FW planted tank! Heh... Achilles Amana will be publishing his book soon!

how to take pics when it is all set up?? nevertheless, i explain it.. just try to picture it.

i purchase all the squarish or rectangular plastic containers with holes on it, then depending on the height that i want, i stack them up and use LR to weigh them down. then i use cable ties to secure them together and that will save me tons of money just buying LR.

yes u are right.. but when u need the height, to get the LR to reach the height u want, might cost a bomb. furthermore, your DSB will help in filtration as well..., so, no worries...

3v|L,Dec 12 2002, 01:10 PM]my height of the tank is 1.5 excluding the 4 inch dsb. so... not much worries. 20 kg enough?

usually i dun know how much kg of rocks.. coz i just use enuff rocks to do my structure.. and not restricted to no. of kg of rocks.. u might find that 20 kg of LR might not be enuff to do up the reef..

Now i spotted 2 tiny crabs in my LR. Will they survive the cycle?

Haha... after you find out about those crabs, you will wish that they die instantly~!!! Grab a needle and pierce them to death.. or like me, throw them into the refugium to do the cleaning there~!
