After months of planning and hoarding pieces, I finally got it started today. I've changed the old brittle hoses out and moved the intakes to the other end of the tank. My crushed coral and pool sand mixture washed and laid down. Now I just have to adhere my huge chunk of driftwood to the slate I picked up and place it in. The rest should be done by the weekend. I'm pretty stoked to put it all together and get everything the way I want it. I know it's old hat to most, but I am off the road and can actually enjoy it now. Pictures will be posted when I'm "done". If that can ever be achieved.LOL!

These are a few of before rescape. The plants are graphics on the vinyl backing. I could never get any good photos from this setup.136408313640821364081136408113640821364083

These are the in progress phase. Took out most of the pebbles and rocks over a month or so time frame. Painted the backing flat black. I'm only using one of my single bulb lights with a full spectrum bulb. Installed 50/50 mixture of pool sand and oyster shell from the feed store. Mostly crushed coral. Extended the hoses from my 2 canisters to move the intakes to the other side of the tank. The last picture is the driftwood I was given by the Front breeder I got my little guys from. I still have quite a bit to do.13640841364085136408613640871364088
