Rebuilding the aquarium...the plan
Plans for redecorating are in full progress, and I hope to be starting soon with this. I ordered a reef rack in Belgium, I will use this to create caves. The idea is to make two small tables (20x20 cm) using parts of this rack and PVC tubes. On top of this a big rack structure will be placed to create a giant cave in the middle of the aquarium. All the tables will be covered with rocks so you won’t see a thing of it when it’s done. Maybe some new life rock will be put in as well, to give the aquarium a new bacteria boost.
The big rack will have a bit of a triangle look, but with a flat top, since it’s hard to place rocks in front of it I want to cover the rack with parts of dead rock and glue them to the rack, this will also give a nice cave look to it.
Currently the plan for the change is as follows.
If anyone has any tips or suggestions, let me know…I’m always open for them .
In the next few days I will post a bit of a roadmap from current situation to the new situation and beyond for each topic underneath here. Also I will try to find the missing names so that everything is complete. No stable date of when it will start, but it should be at least early may. Stay tuned!

Currently the plan for the change is as follows.
- First remove all the rocks and put them in a tub with water from the aquarium
- Remove the corals and put them in buckets with water from the aquarium
- Move some water from the RSM to a small 60 litre aquarium
- Catch the fish and inverts and move them to the small aquarium
- Place the racks
- Build up the stones and coral and put the water back from the tub and buckets
- Pump back some of the water from the small aquarium
- Put back the fish and inverts
