    been trying to think of a better way of aquascapeing it for a while now and then read a thread on rock pillars.
    That was it the idea was lodged so off i went and bought 3 No 8mm x 1m rods and the re scaping began

    This was about the moment i thought why oh why

    But after 3 hrs this is what i was sat looking at
    http://www.reefcorals.co.uk/forums/a...1&d=1169934121

    So what do you think??

    I know PEE SOUP lol, just need to re-site the corals in the morning and then i will send some clear pics for all your comments.

    Chris at MT i will try to print a decent pic when everything has settled down and fetch it in for your wall in the shop.

    Thabks Chris

    Great pea soup;) :D Can't see the rock work in that picture. I would monitor the parameters though, looks like you have stirred up a lotof rubbish.

    A good idea when you have done some work like that in your tank is to run an external filte with filter floss in it and it will soon clear up. Looks like its going to be a nice setup when its finished. Eric
    I have upgraded to a 48x26x30inch with a 40x18x18 sump which as a Bubble Magus NAC7 skimmer with a Eheim compact 5,000 return pump.

    Hi All, so nearly 24hrs later and another jour or more replacing the corals and this is what i ahve

    http://www.reefcorals.co.uk/forums/a...1&d=1170010383

    http://www.reefcorals.co.uk/forums/a...1&d=1170010444

    Still need to tinker with it there are a couple of places you can see the rods although im really pleased with it, im amazed how much bigg it has made the tank look because there is so much more space for the fish to swim around.

    All comments welcomed, i should it was almost clear after 1 1/2hrs and params diddnt alter that much.

    Thanks Chris
