Getting closer now. Rocks are in place and I've started the long journey of filling it with ro/di water. My estimate is that it will take close to 2 full days to fill it up.
Let me know what you think about the aquascape. Negative or positive, I'm happy to hear both! :)



That is awesome. It reminds me of what I don't like about my long, narrow tank!

First fish added to the tank.
In the tank right now are one naso elegans, one chelmon rostratus and a black ocellaris. His partner is still in the other tank and doesn't seem to be as easily fooled by my trap :)


In the quarantine are one genicanthus lammarck and one zebrasome flavecens


Planning on adding two or three fish a week

Things are progressing. More fish added and I'll soon turn on the lighting and bring in the algae :).
Got a delivery of almost 300 frag plugs today. Should keep me in business for a while i hope :)

Very nice setup. That water change chamber is genius.

Are you expecting fish in the overflow without a grate?

We'll see. If it starts happening frequently, ill set up some but if it happens once a year or something then ill just scoop them up. Should be fairly easy to catch them :)
