Today I completed my new aquascaping, if you scroll down a few posts below this one you can see my old reef tank aquascaping. It wasn’t exactly how I planned it, I have come to the conclusion that I am going to have to upgrade my tank in the next few years.
As you can see in the picture my corals are not exactly happy with me at the moment with all the detritus I kicked up moving the rocks around. This picture was taken six hours after I re-aquascaped. I am hoping that the green sinularia in the middle at the top of the tank will be able to fan out a little bit more to give the tank a bit more perspective, otherwise I am going to have to move it.
Part of the new aquascaping was to increase the flow in my aquarium by using an additional two maxi-jet 1200s. As it stands right now I am circulating almost 24x my aquariums water an hour or about 1100gph. This is a huge change from the tank’s flow before, which was almost 14x. This change should keep my corals happier and my detritus suspended in the water column longer.
