No I find it is best to scape then add sand then add RO water and leak test. The scape doesn't effect any leaks really since it would be isolated to the return or drain plumbings. Also in my experience I prefer scaping when the rock is dry and the tank has no water because it is easier...

Thanks Ed, I designed it and did the dry fitting, Steve did the final assembly and we worked together to make it proper. Im about to start the task of getting everything else online now.

Well got the manifold built and all connected. Once my RO is finished being made I'll test all of it for leaks :x. Thanks to Steve 9supra for all his help! All that is left to do is: 1. finish making RO 2. check plumbing for leaks 3. get all equipment connected/wired 4. add salt 5. cycle

possibly but I was trying to avoid having all 3 connected. I think I'm going to go with an island and cut it down a bit Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

I'm thinking about cutting it in half and making a mountain type there. I am definitely not touching the middle or right side though for sure for sure. I have so much rock in my fuge I might have to throw the extra in my sump so i have room for cheato :x.

Before: After:

Nikki do you mean on top of the middle structure or more to fill in the front? I am thinking of breaking some rocks and adding them to the front middle of the mountain/cave.

I'm going to leave the pillar, but I might add some more rock to the right to make an island, not a bad idea.

Today I spent an embarassing amount of time in lowes, but thankfully I went with a diagram and well from the diagram my manifold came to life. 5 ports w/ 1/2" barb and then one port w/ 3/4" barb to my display. I went from 1.5" to 1" then to 1" Tees that go down to 1/2" outlets. I...

fuge is a 40 breeder packed full of rock :). Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

I think yourw right, maybe ill add more rock and angle it so it lokks like a sloping mountain Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

rhs? right hand side? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

There is plenty of rock, I don't like the congested look most tanks have and with the addition of the rock in the fuge it shouldn't have any issues.

it is pretty packed with what's in there, the pictures dont illustrate how massive it is. I have probably 100 lbs or so in my fuge Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

FTS w/ sand

Pillar: It is about 21/22" tall, I drilled 1/2" holes down center and used 1/2" pvc to keep it straight. I need to add some JB weld or something though because the top rocks do wobble a bit with my WP60 on max :> Water is still clearing up and I just washed/readded my sand, but this gives...

I didn't take the sand out of the tank yet, I plan on doing that tonight :/
