Well it is that time. Thanks to my awesome wife who got me this new tank, it is time to start the build thread for it. I plan on using this thread to document the progress and growth of my new tank. First is a list of what I have so far, pics will follow...
Still to Purchase
With this build I am looking at attempting to set it up with a "theme" called the lost city. I will be working with the aquascape to "try" and give it the appearance of a underwater city in ruin and in the center I plan on using the branching rock to create a "Tree of Life" that will host different corals to show life springing out from the ruins. (*Notice I said TRY above lol *)
Once it is setup and the cycle has been completed, I will be moving my livestock in my 10g nano over. These include...
