Might have something to do with our ceilings being so low, we live in an old cottage!
It has a long way to go yet.

Bit of a bummer, if this done last week you could of had 50+ kg of live rock as I dumped a load from the tank, it's now going to be part of the rockery in the garden.

I didn't have time as it was quite late when I pulled it out and didn't have anywhere to store it, plus it has red algae on it so will need a scrub before using it.

Very nice start B)

I wouldnt add much more rock.If you put a few stags and formosas in there it will give it plenty of height in a year anyway.
