that sounds nice.. in my opinion the hard part is over!!!

 

[cubnb79]

ok so here's main tank picture again....im wondering what you guys would do with the rock im thinking of moving them around a bit to change things up plus want to start getting ready for coral/reef life once im ready i dont know what to do first of all lol...hints there would help too...anyways here's the pic....

oh and should i worry if i place a rock on top of the snails that are buried or will they be able to still get themselves out???

 

[travelerjp98]

The rocks look nice in my opinion... it's fine if you put a rock on a snail imo... they'll crawl out!

 

[cubnb79]

i was thinking about moving the one big rock on the bottom left side to the other side and use the other pieces to kinda make more bridge like formations i dont know lol

 

[travelerjp98]

kinda like this?
I think I have your idea in my tank.. well kind of.. lol

 

[cubnb79]

yes something like that...i wish i was a graphics person so i could take picture of everything and move each rock on the computer vs. stirring up a bunch of crap till it's right..i really only have two small rocks (5 lbs. or less) rest are a good size because i was a rookie trying to get lbs. of rock in there...i wouldnt mind getting few more smaller finish (design) rocks but im worried about bad hitchhikers...

 

[travelerjp98]

haha I get you.. but I'm not a graphic person either.. I do exactly what you do lol.. ( as to moving rocks)

 

[cubnb79]

i guess i should just do it on my next water change which well if over due but everything seems to be fine with top offs so i've got lazy after skimmer working right...now i just got a handle on fish im sure coral/reef is a whole new world guess ill figure it out just like i did the first five months since i've started...on top of that we just put the house on the market so if we move oh dear lord the tank is going to be the last thing to move but im expecting it not to be fun

wow... probably not!

 

[cubnb79]

lol yea im guessing prob. at least 5 gal buckets with water just for all the rock...a big cooler for the fish and snails little water left in tank for the sand...and lots of help from friends

 

[travelerjp98]

exactly... but that will be a pain in the butt..

 

[cubnb79]

yea maybe it should be the first thing to go that way im not so tired after all the other stuff

 

[yingchun5207]

.i drink bottle water so i just need to know whats best for the tank...not really concerned with drinking it but if i can get both for one price that works too....i just want to buy the unit and at least have 10g on hand if not more for emergency wc.Coach BagsMovies Online

I have a Culligan system (the same stuff sold in the grocery store) It's a 5 stage RO unit, I use the water from it to cook, make coffee and drink...and for my top offs and water changes. I fill 5g jugs and go to Walmart for the first fill of the tank, just to save time.

Hi,
YingChun5207.....Welcome to the site!
CUBNB79, You need to move the sand to the side, and build your rock on the bottom of the tank. You should not build on top of the sand, it shifts and can cause a rock slide that kills your critters or breaks your tank. Many SW critters dig under the rock in the sand, and cause the slide. I like the way you did the rockwork, just redo it after you move the sand, and then puch the sand back over the rock afterward.
