New Rockscape

[gpyetiman]

I picked up a complete tank including rock at a garage sale. I refurbished it completely and set it up for my 8 year old son. What do you think of the rock work? Opinions please :happyfish :happyfish :happyfish :happyfish :happyfish :happyfish

Wow that looks awsome! Your son must be one lucky kid. How much did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking?

Looks awesome. I wish I could find a great deal at a local garage sale! How big is the tank? And you are using your son as an excuse to buy a tank

Looking very nice. Love your rock work! Good luck with your new setup!

Is this your fist saltwater setup? What are you looking to do with this tank? Reef, fowlr, agressive fish ? Just curious!

Thanks for all the nice replies. I actually purchased the whole setup for $100.00. It was in pretty bad shape , the lady I purchased it from had a sea apple die and wipe out her whole tank. Everything was green so it took a while to clean everything, I stripped it and restained it . I originally just wanted to purchase the rock, as she had it in buckets of fresh water and sitting in the sun. After talking a while she offered to sell me everything for $100. I really couldn't pass it up, I had to explain to my wife how much money I was actually saving. I invested an additonal $60.00 in new sand, $85.00 in a new skimmer and sold some left over rock for $40.00. I hope to add some soft corals, and I am going to let him do the research to see what type and size of fish he can add. This is my third tank, I have a 125g and a 30g. :joy:

 

[gpyetiman]

I forgot it is a 60g.

 

[mrdc]

$100!!! I would have jumped on that to. Did you test it for leaks first?

I think the rockwork looks great.
