Angled FTS: this way you can see the different layers.

FTS: 6025 is just temporary there, using it to blow all the dust... i'm planning to buy one more 6025... anyone selling??

post-13920-1234108796.jpg

The LR is not supposed to lean on the back panel, think the 6025 must have blown it off it's base.

I have special plans for this 'vertical column', but lotsa hard work needed (and glue too)

This piece! i think weighs about 10kg (didn't get to measure it).

But it's the size of a folded Straits Times...

post-13920-1234109252.jpg

It's NOT a hollow piece, it's a whole rock (some call it boulder!)

Had to remove it, coz i wanted a clean look and clear space to fish to swim and NO collection for detritus!

how come ur liverock from so much become so little? O.O all go where? lols. nice rescape. looks more light. no collection of dead spots

the biggest piece is the one i took out lor! eh, that piece alone dunno take up how much space...

Besides, all corals come with some rocks too, so it'll all add up.

I realised that i need not stuff my tank so much LR, end up gotta deal with PO4 and all... SO now, it's clean clean for me! (btw: the trick is, leave some LR in the sump... hehe - most of my rocks are back in the tank or sump (except for 2 big flat pieces, hold some corals, so still in the tub). So i will still have 1 more 'level' to stack...

total will have 3 levels + 1 column.

Now need to create placement positions for 'branching' corals like hammers and true octo! Hmm... maybe need to change the 'strategy a little'.

hmmmmm.. seems a little low lehz.. =p

Yes, you are right! it's very much lower than previous one.

1) the main base rock is out of my tank.... so definitely lose some height.

2) I wish to create a 3rd level, so maybe that will be just a little higher than level 2.

hehe.

Brother Wilson,

not pic quality, the funny thing is my Ca level is 500++, but the coraline not growing well.

Realised that my PO4 is the main culprit (and alot of other factors as well).

So took thus the re-scape + took the chance to clean up the entire tank.

You might need to seed it with coralline algae... get a rock encrusted with coralline, scrape the "dust" in your tank and let it flow with your power heads on. ^_^
