ahhhhhh.....Bisquit is GORGEOUS!

I also like it the way it is too. One suggestion I might have is can you make two different mounds? The largest area on the L then, a smaller group of rocks on the R. I've just gotten to where I like to see a gap or what I call a valley between the rocks.

Woodstock · 06-10-2006, 09:21 AM

I like open spaces too with no rock... the 180 will give me lots of scaping space to do that!

Frankie, are your rocks tied or glued together?

Frankie · 06-10-2006, 12:12 PM

Still messing with it! :/ I think im going to do what you all said so far and take out some. could always put it in the fuge with the rest for another tank over the summer

billyr98 · 06-10-2006, 12:38 PM

yea i wish i did less rock... but don't feel like messing with it..

Woodstock · 06-10-2006, 01:56 PM

I doubt I will get more rock for the 180... I like WIDE open spaces!

Nice tank, looks like it is coming along...

Craig Manoukian · 06-10-2006, 08:35 PM

Less rock; more lateral swim room and easier to clean. My preference for sure.

Frankie · 06-13-2006, 11:01 AM

I think i got the rock scape down now. I was trying to avoid the wall look and it seems that way in the picture but in person it dosen't.
Also I tossed in two peppermint shrimp and 17 green chromis. Love the way they school

I bought a pair of Akidnyos clowns too but am waiting to make sure the tanks ready and the rbta is in.

Woodstock · 06-13-2006, 12:35 PM

Nice cave work!!

billyr98 · 06-13-2006, 03:02 PM

That looks awesome!! good work frankie

Craig Manoukian · 06-14-2006, 01:31 AM

I found that letting the anemone acclimate to the tank for two months, gave a much better chance of not being traumatized by the clowns attention and wriggling in the tentacles.

Frankie · 06-14-2006, 08:56 AM

Thanks Billy and Doni

Thats some good advice Craig, thank you!
Its going to be hard to do it that way because the rbta is on order and i already paid for the clowns. Im not to sure the lfs will hold them for that long. But i could put a cage around the rbta for a spell while it gets use to the tank and settles down on the rock. Iv'e had many anemones before so i feel good that i'll be ok God willing. But its good sound advice for those who haven't had them before.
