33g reef tank pic. Home made rock after 8 months. - Aquarium Advice

vertex · 09-06-2005, 01:40 AM

Thought I'd post a picture of how my tank is coming along. I got a lot of help on this forum starting out and it has payed off. Thanks AA! Easy to maintain finally now and everything has been doing good for some time.

I had built all my own rocks for this reef and here is what it looks like now after 8 months in the tank. There are many caves and arches in this setup that just don't show well with one picture. I'd definitely suggest to make your own rock to anyone, as you can create the exact kind of shapes you want.
