complete tank overhaul!
it's horrific, no pics until it's crystal clear again! I pulled all the rock, all the corals and rescaped it. It looks great as far as rockwork, but man the water is gross and the poor fish are freakin'... but try to catch them. I'll let them hide, they'll settle down. Now I have to fill it, replace the corals and clean the filters... we'll see how it looks tomorrow for pics!

ok, here's a teaser!  before and after... it's settling pretty fast and the fish are out already... those goofy horses were in the way, er, helping, the whole time! Curious little sweeties!
after sitting back and looking at it, the tank looks bigger with this new rockscape. The zoos are opening already!

I really like what youve done with the rock work should I go out on a limb and say it rocks!

thanks! I can look from one end and see the other end pretty well. The fish are out and the zoo's are opening and I can see thier colors. I bet in the morning it'll be pretty again... wow the tank looks bigger, almost, empty with all the swimming area above the rocks now. I'm all happy about all the coraline growth too, I'd love the back wall to be covered... I think!

thanks again! Here are a few pics for ya... it's still not crystal clear but it's getting better. See Lucy on the left side? Then there's the pink zoo that I got from my club, and a pretty little zoo that's starting to open.

here's a macro of some coraline on the back wall. I used auto enhance to up the color a bit, it sure is neat!

...and then here's another zoo that's opening up, and my solar system! I think that's what it looks like anyways, so what are those, baby snails?
