  • In this episode, Hilary begins rock-scaping her tank! Join us as we learn which sand and rocks Hilary chose for her tank and learn why it's a good idea to design your rock scape before putting it in your tank. We'll also share why a minimalistic design isn't a great idea for certain types of fish and corals and what to use to secure your rocks in your tank.

    I appreciate a solid Rockquascape well thought out.
    Thanks for sharing 🙂

    Overall great Job 👏 . If I can knit pick a little, the rock work is too close to the glass. love the height, as this allows for the corals to grow vertically.

    Really enjoying the series. I set up my 1st saltwater tank in 1982 while in college. I have had saltwater aquariums every since then. My 150 tall reef sprung a leak a while back so I built a 240 gallon aquarium into my basement living room wall. I use the Red Sea Recipe and it works. My corals, fish, and inverts and doing great. Keep up the good work.

    The mortar can also be inside the water so you can add rocks later using the same mortar but the sand may be an issue. That said I built one of my sculpture w/o the sand and within a year you can see it anymore anyhow due to all the build up.

    Love the rock-scape! One thing to mention would be to make sure you don't let the sand dry out. I don't know the timeframe you were working with here, but the whole reason for using the 'live' sand could be gone if you let the sand dry out too long in the bottom of your tank.

    What is your opinion about this amount of sand? Pros and cons?
    I don’t know what do o think about it
    Thanks 🙏

    You shouldn’t put your live wet sand in and then take ages doing your scape, always add some mixed saltwater :)

      Wet sand that deep takes days to dry, this bacteria is hardy.
