sCale is a little off otherwise, looKs like a lot of pLaces to put stuFF

 

[DrCooper]

So I just did some rearrangement of the rock to create a larger front and cave effect. I saw something that looked like a damn sea monkey shrimp. DAMN first thing i saw, hope its safe
Opinions welcome (looks better then pic i promise)

I was thinking the same thing. Lots of flat space on those rocks to put your corals. I like to keep atleast a fingers width (or the width of my magnet cleaner) between the rock and viewing panes so I can keep the glass clean.

So I just broke up one of the pieces into two pieces and have some left over rubble I will keep for who knows what. I post some pics later once water is looking better.
Good times

SeaMonkey = Brine Shrimp

Yes, if you are buying them from Toys-R-Us.

I am pretty sure the "damn sea monkey shrimp", DrCooper was referring to are copepods.

new rock

so broke up on the large pieces and am making a cave like area. It is looking great so far
