New Aquascaping- and my First Frag!

[ZenKitty]

I spent a whole Sunday trying to aquascape my tank after I got some more rock, so I wanted to share the new look with everyone...Also I fragged one of my sun corals- it was my first time :-D Sorry the picture is a bit blurry.....

I love your tank.

[ZenKitty]

Thank you Zack and Jenfur427....After all the stress of the aquascaping adventure I am really glad I did it- but when all my corals were sitting in numerous tuperware bowls all over my kitchen I really was not having a good time!!! :wink:

Really looks good. Which took longer thinking of the design you want the rocks in or putting them in that design?

I found myself thinking that after doing some of my tanks

[ZenKitty]

That was the problem...I bought a fairly large piece of live rock because it had some really nice blue sponge growing on it (which I got for just he price of the LR) and I didnt even think of how I was going to arrange it- I just started messing around. So I started that on a Saturday- got FRUSTRATED left it over night- and the following day I just took everything out and started from scratch. So I'd say setting up the design took all the time :)

I am never aquascaping again!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

looks great ZenKitty, how long has your tank been set up? i'm going to re aqua scape mine soon and i spend hours trying to visualize how i'm going to do it

Did you 'wobble' the pieces to make sure they were in place, to prevent any 'rock slides'? :) Looks great might I add.

All the rocks at the bottom I sunk into the sand and the rest fit together kinda like a puzzle- and they are also leaning against the back of the tank. I was a bit worried about it being stable enough- but it seems pretty sturdy. The only thing is that octobubble has decided that it really likes it's new location and it's tentacles are coming out ALOT more- I had to move it the other night when I found some of it's tentacles in my sun corals polyps!! :shock:
