Here is what my 37 gallon tall looks like again. I just up graded my lighting from 175 HQI to a 250 HQI MH. Temp seems to be at around 79-81. A little brighter than it was before.

Looks really nice to me- on second thought it's missing something...No,
I think there are too many fish.

LOL. I got 1 Mandarin and 2 chromis. I may have spelled the last one wrong. I tryed to get rocks closer to the light for a few SPS I got but it dont look right to me.

Alex, new rockwork eh... What don't you like about it? Try adding some caves, your fish will love it. Looks like you got it jamed pack. I normally start with the bigger rocks on the bottom and stack it up like a puzzle making caves and such with the smaller rocks being on top. ;)

Ya, but it was not easy. You've seen how tall this tank is. I am thinking of getting rid of the LR I have and picking up a huge piece of marshal. One big hug piece and not all this mixture of LR, But where to get it?

I have some large peices if you wanted to buy one.. possible 8-14lbs. Pm me and maybe I can pick out a nice piece for you. Whats the footrpint of your tank? I had the same problem trying to stack my 50T but as you can see, its still do-able. Lots of caves for my other fish as well.

I don't see why youre so hard on yourself.

If you don't like the look then change it! I have re-done my tank a few times, and I like it more and more each time!

Good Luck :)

If it is the Via Aqua tank, I have the same one. They are great tanks, but tricky I upgraded to a 150 hqi so that I could have corals at all different heights. I went with a central cave idea and many tiers and shelves to get as much depth as possible. If these tanks were 6 inches deeper, they would rock!


You have some awsome corals! just try to add some more levels & depths to the rock-scape

Thanks guys, I have updated the picture tonight and put it back kind of the way it was before since I now have stronger lighting. djmuzzi most of the corals I have I got from Global Aquatics. And a few here and there. I just need to work on fish. The fish I had before got eaten one by one by a crab that I recently pulled out. I was bigger than a silver dollar. Yikes

Your tank looks very nice. I'm looking at a lot of the stuff saying to myself, that looks like mine, no wonder, I got a lot of my things from GA also (thanks Will).
