I know many of you have been wondering and asking about the status of the 400g. More plumbing parts for the new setup are needed, which will arrive within a week or less. I placed orders with three different vendors to get the specific fittings I wanted today.In the meantime, I got the base foundation of the rockwork up on acrylic pillars which keeps the aquascape from shifting no matter where the sand moves to avoid a rockslide. I'll be posting up an article on this shortly. Today I thought ...
