New 60g deep blue mixed reef

Very excited. The new build had been up for 2 weeks and is doing great. I started with bio spirals as I always do and have always had success with my fish. I had my lfs hold on to a few fish from my 100g for a few months which are now in the cube and doing great.

Overall I'm very happy with how it turned out

I did my aquascape using stone fix by aquaforest..all I can say is excellent. My scape is 8 pieces about 45lbs and I did it all dry. I let it sit for a few weeks. When I picked it up to put in my tank it was one solid piece. I have alot of ledges too using shelf rock. Great spots for sps.

Love that whole 'shelf-style' aquascaping.
I always want to try but then give in to cramming more rock in for 'grow space' and my tanks become a jungle.
Great equipment choices as well, gonna be a nice tank.
 
I like your Aqua scape! I used Stone Fix too. It's a great product
Thanks! Yes stone fix is awesome..I had a hard time choosing which product to use because everything has a bad review but I'm glad I went with aquaforest. Definitely will use it again

I've done the same thing on previous builds lol but if you ever start up another I would give the shelf rock a try its awesome.
The rock work looks great man.
Thanks! I've rushed my scape every time but with this build I've gone much slower and it's really paying off. Cant wait till the tank is more mature and I can put some stick on those shelves!
