Jami,

Great looking tank and awesome job on the rockscape. It does make the tank look much larger than a 60 gallon!

I wonder what it will take to get my 300g tank to look as big as your 60g does! :)

Nice looking fish tank!! Keep us posted on updates as you work on your "to-do" list ... I think many of us have our own "to-do" list for our tanks. :)

lol.. No panorama ..but maybe just another 60 lbs. of rock? I mighta gone a little nuts with the live rock, I wanted a "foam rock wall" ( like Steve's) but didn't realize it until AFTER getting the tank running! Will be the top of my "want list" for the next build. :) down side is...while it looks bigger, I have limited sandbed space..so it's a trade off for now. :)

lol..true! may have some new additions this weekend ;) with the new scape I realize I need to put a bunch more life in there to fill out the "rock garden"!

I really enjoy the new upgrade, it was definately worth it for me in many ways. I haven't really done anything else to the tank or added anything new. I have an algae bloom I am working on getting rid of so I'm waiting for that to go away first. Guess it's part of a new tank regardless of how much water, sand and rock you use from the old tank.

I guess that's true..I am wondering if I will have any probs adding SO much LR to est. tank. Time will tell I guess..

Ha! Thanks Victor!.. had my hands full trying to move it for the scaping! After screwing around with it for a whole day..I finally drilled the rock into swiss cheese and broke it up! It split like literally a "gnat's @$$" away from it's foot! Now I know why it took sooo long to get him from ya..living up to it's name "JB Weld"! lol
