patrick Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Okay, time for an update. I have placed the pump on a sponge sheet since I don't want any vibrations. Two pieces of media sheets have been placed in the back to hold the sponge cylinders that I will use as biomedia. Now this may look a bit like arts and crafts class but what I am doing is threading the sponge cylinders on a fishing line. I do this becasue I don't have enough room to reach down and grab them once everything is in place. This way I just pull the line and up they come. The first 2 gallon on sponges are done. The back is now filled with a total of 4 gallon sponge cylinders. I have started to decorate the tank. Water will be added tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2manytanks Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Even without livestock it's a work of art. I just love it when somebody pays so much attention to detail. Little things like the varied rock and pebble sizes placed in what appears to be a random fashion add so much to making it look natural. And the design of the background is fantastic, there seems to be much more depth to it than I know there is, maybe it's the way the light plays on it. The shimmer of metal halides in there would be stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
