135g Re-do

Just started the re-do of my 135g, so that my 11" Lunar Wrasse and my 9" Crosshatch Trigger could swim around. I had approx. 225# of LR in there and it was kind of crowded. So, I purchase about 38# of Tonga branch and Fusion branch to aquascape with. I will post a few pix tomorrow that will include before, during and after pix. This has been a lot of work but I want everyone to see what hard work can produce.

I used my frag tank, a rubbermaid tote and my 65g tall to hold most of the inhabitants. I also had to put a few things in my wife's (MRSBIGBIRD123) 110g and my son's (lil'bird123) 30g cube. The fish went into the 65 along with a few rocks, my Koralia 4 and a phosban reactor that returns about 6" above the water for oxygenation.

I will begin posting pix later.....stay tuned.

WOW, :shock: a large project, something I often think about doing,
then back out of due the labor involved.

Good luck with everything and please do post pics, maybe it will inspire me to re aquascape.

I personally think the left 3/4 of the tank before looked spacious and nice.
Good luck and i look forward to seeing the after pics.
