Are you going to add more tonga or other types of rock?

took out the rock out of the old tank and started to transfer it so I cut 50 pcs of 1.5 inch pvc pipe to 2 inch lengths to put the corals in so they would not be on the sandbed note to self remove the wrasses when I came downstairs this morning there was not one coral in the pvc

Where did you get the big pieces of Tonga?

 

[chewal]

I have been picking them up for about a year from several different places the larger ones are really hard to find

Its all about stock piling nice shaped/sized rock for a later build. I planned on pulling mine out today to get a feel for how i want to scape my 180

Just a little Bit LOL I cant figure out how people put tonga together on the floor and then move it to the tank without it falling apart

FWIW, I epoxied tonga on marco. Here's an old pic. I've since added more. I found that when some of it is anchored like this you can easily lean or stack more tonga against it without it shifting. It is very easy to work with this way.

So I found another box with more tonga in the garage so I will be changing thing around Pics to follow so I decided to work on my Christmas present to myself it a apex controller now to figure it out I really want do it right the first time its off to ikea

 

[chewal]

I decided to keep my hand dry for the rest of the day and picked up the shoe cabinet from ikea for the command centerView attachment 14777
