I figured I would make a single thread to document my progress over time. So here we have it.
May 25 2009 - The Beginning



More rock added and re-arranged rock.


June 15 - First Fish

Thats all for now though I dont have most recent pictures. I will be adding to the thread as time goes on.

Nice tank. Very good picture of the clown.

Heres a recent update, new lighting fixutre (2x150 sunpod), re did the rock work on the right side of the tank. Added a bit more to the left. Added a watermelon zoo and bluespotted jawfish (dont have a pic of him yet).

Hi there,
I don't know if you epoxied the rocks, but they look awsome. Hope they don't fall down.

No I didnt.
The bottom ones are touching the bottom of tank (not sand) and some of the middle ones are resting against the back of the tank. I gave it a pretty good shake and nothing happened so I guess we will see over time. Im keeping my fingers crossed.

I sure hope they don't fall, but they look really cool.
