your rock setup is cool. what did you use for your backglass, paint or window tint of somesort? :happy: i wish i had your lights, dayum sexy!

 

[balistik1]

If you are talking about mine, I just used the backing that you can get at your LFS.
Thanks

Hey balistik, you should start your own thread with more details with the finished product. Tank looks great, rockwork looks similar to mine. Don't want to invade his thread though.

 

[jer4916]

its not my thread..its EVERYONES!
talk talk talk

 

[jer4916]

anyone have any idea how long it will take for purple stuff to cover all my rocks?

Nice setup

 

[gregm779]

as far as the coralline goes, it takes from a couple of months to a couple of years, start usign kalkwasser, make sure your alkalinity, magnesium, and calcium stay stable and it will grow like crazy.

 

[balistik1]

I may just do that.
Thanks
