Fish Only

[BaxterS80]

Ok, so we are tearing down our 55 Cichlid tank and putting them in a 100. I want to use the 55 as a Fish Only Marine, since all of our SW tanks are reefs. What would be the best substrate to use and rock as I do not want LR or LS?

Any Thoughts???

i would say use bricks.make it seem like a destroyed building fell in the ocean and fish took over it.that would be cool theme

[BaxterS80]

What kind of bricks, Nemo?

[Nemo 22]

use the smaller ones that they sell in homedepot.they have holes in them for caves for fish to go thru and they are easy to stack.homedepot has a variety of different ones.they are easy to drill thru.

Huh,never thought of that...How about gravel from the FW tanking we are breaking down?

[Nemo 22]

get rid of it.use broken coral substrate.but do half white and half black if avalaible.give it a different vibe.
