Fairly new 35g hex reef

[dakotajoe1]

This is my 35g hex I'm working on. I'm running a Eheim 2217 and currently 3 T8 but I'm about to make a new lin from acrylic that will fit either 4 T8's or maybe 6 T5's. The current livestock is a feather duster, GSP, condy anenome, texas trash, unknown zoa, kenya tree leather, birds nest, 2 turbo snails, and a maroon clown.

Thanks! It took me almost a week before I got the rock how I liked it. I plan on having the whole bottom left leg mostly covered in GSP. I love that stuff lol

Great looking tank! You soley going for a Reef and minimal fishies?

Well that I don't know yet. I had a starry blenny but I think my condy killed him while I was on vacation. I'm not real fond of most fish that are small enough for this tank so I haven't decided where to go yet. I really like fish cause they make the tank look a little more alive but like I said there are only so many that will work in a 35g. I almost went with a seahorse tank and ! I'm pretty proud of it. I jus need to increase the lighting and start growing some coralline to replace the diatoms!

I don't usually like the shape/look of hex tanks, but yours is great. Love the aquascape! Good job If you don't like the selection for a 35, upgrade *nudge, nudge* Jk.

Well thank you! Like I said I spent some time on the aquascaping getting it just right. It could still use a few peices of rubble in the seams to make it look a little more like one solid rock.

What kind of rock is that? I love it. will it stay that white? and is it live?

Its the eco-rox or something like that from bulkreefsuply. They came dry but only $2.50 a pound and pest free. They were originally bleech white but quickly turned brown with diatoms, but the turbo snails keep it right about this shade
