    Putting the feet on the bottom of the scape seems like a great idea. Especially for a bare bottom system. Thanks for sharing CJ! 👍

      J’s REEFs I’m going to use the Js Reef technique on my 170 build. Great ideal.

      could we use a regular cement for the feet?

    I like how your video explains what you are doing and why you are doing it. The other guy spent his whole time dogging you as a person rather than focusing on the challenge. Keep doing you. The point of the challenge is to draw in new members and educate people, not to just insult your opponent. In my mind you have already won. I love that you didn’t bash Rico. Your work speaks for itself.

    Feet under the scape - I did that with Mollywood for exactly the same reason: smaller points of contact for less detritus accumulation. Ice cube tray idea is genius! 👍🏻👍🏻 And your template idea is why I was also able to put the pieces together outside the tank and then just lift them into place. We’re learning as we go......😁

    I'm amazed by your work. I'm starting with reeftanks and I feel so inspired. I've had freshwater tanks for years, know some things about aquascaping, but the riffs I saw never came close to the aesthetic requirements. But you did that. Great job! Thank you very much.

    • @jenniferm234

      Also...for the ice-cubes, did you use a plastic ice tray or a jelly flimsy one?

    • @CJSAQUARIUMS
      @CJSAQUARIUMS  5 лет назад +1

      plastic from the dollar store. there are definitely better options shape and size. find the mold that fits your needs

    Looks great so far! Not sure if you are planning mainly sps but just make sure you have enough room for them to grow, the branching rock is very high it the scape. Sure you know what your dosing just a thought!

    • @CJSAQUARIUMS
      @CJSAQUARIUMS  5 лет назад

      Fat Headed Fish no doubt... and I won’t have room for many which is good. Will save money stocking the tank. I’m very strategic with coral placement I’ll share in a future video 👌🏾

  • @modotd3885
    @modotd3885 4 года назад +1

    Nice informative vid. Real handy ideas.
    How long did the scape take?
    If really long, did it kill the 'life' in the rock? Or did you have to wash and seed it again with Dr Tims or similar

    @9StickNate 5 лет назад

    I like the scape! It looks like it has a lot of depth. The feet are a good idea. I’ve glued stubs of rock together to make feet; I’ve never thought of ice cube trays though. You will get some good undercurrent with the gyre too.
    Bare bottom... think about it. You can put cyphastria, zoas and encrusting montis.
