Hey CJ if you add the sand later it might mess with ur PH, it might be best to add it before the water

CJ try AquaMaxx Reef Welder Epoxy Glue its amazing it holds rock in seconds

One of the best aquascape vids I have seen. A great mix of artistic flair and practical building.

I've been watching your videos for a while and never watched your build. I am starting to upgrade to a 120 and really enjoyed your series. Big bonus. My wife likes your videos over many of the others. So getting her involved really helps out. I'm going to be binge watching your entire series as I prepare for the upgrade.

I'm going from a 48 gallon flat back hex to a 120. I will be transferring the rock and coral w/ some additional rock I have cycling in a tote. Will be upgrading the protein skimmer and lights. I like your slow and steady approach. I will keep the 48 up and running and switch it to long spine urchins w/ Bengai cardinals.

It's so cool how much you learn actually building a tank. I have learned so much in the last year. Also I have to say CJ this build is absolutely awesome. You are doing a great job. Teaching me a lot along the way. I am going to keep working on mine for another year learning as I go. No matter how much I learn from you. Making my own mistakes is part of the process lol. Thanks for all you vids. So helpful.

Can I just say that I was talking to my wife about you last night, and I said the word, "He creates the most beautiful tanks I have ever seen." You just have such a great eye. Thanks for making these videos. Inspiration for all of us!

appreciate it man! I just like things to look a certain way... no reason to half step lol

That scape design is insane.....gonna follow your sump set up as well....but that scape with those caves is very inspiring....thumbs up

This is gonna be an absolute pleasure watching your project come to life...

Hey I just had to say I love the thumbnails you use for your videos. Great colors, excellent font choice and layout. Very clean looking. Can't wait to see more of your new tank.

I really like your method in making your videos. The way you explain everything you are doing and why you are doing it as it happens in the video instead of talking while you are working. Aquascape looks awesome man, i look forward to your progress. Im trying to keep up with you with my own tank.

Man I wish I would have thought more about my scape in my SCA. I have a ton of head room and no more spaces to put coral lol. I love your build man. Taking the time to do it right always pays off.

Great job. i have been procrastinating for months on the aquascape in a new 120 tank, waiting for some inspiration and knowing I have to get it right the first time. You gave me that inspiration, time to get to work.

I love this final setup - lots to look at and very pleasing to the eye. I appreciate your walk-through of the flow plan as well, makes a lot of sense. On with the show!!

You going to make me start another build man I show your video to my wife and she said it looks awesome and told me I should go back to the hobbi amazing work man

complements on your patience and planning looks like its going to be beautiful

I don't think that scape could have come out any better man. Great job! Now comes the long wait.

Nice vid. Glad I was apart of the VIP behind the scene access. Looking forward to the progression of the tank. You have the most patiences ever. Man compared to my 20 min scape lol. looks great

Great Work CJ. Man I was amazed when you actually made a cardboard mock-up of the tank . You'll like Pukani Rocks that's what I have. But get ready for phosphate leaching out of them. But no worries it just part of the slow process! Can't wait to see it wet and cycled!!

Tank is looking dope! Love your attention to detail and patience.

Looks great CJ, can't wait to see these tank up and running! 👍

"Proactive, not reactive!" You're the man CJ! Love your tank philosophy and have learned so much from watching all your content. As a new member of the reefing community, you've got me so excited to get my own reef system up and running! Be Easy!

Dude. This looks seriously cool! Love the overhangs. Super happy for you and excited to see the next few stages.

This is going to be a bad ass set can't wait to see this tank fully stocked.

Absolutely amazing aquascape. Hands down one of the best I've ever seen. Great video and following your build. Cant wait to see what other stuff you come up with

WOW! CJ you knocked that Aquascape out of the park. I'm also very impressed with BRS they did a nice handling the small rock problem.

Slow and steady win the race .... making great progress CJ ... keep it up and keep doing what you do .... BE EASY !!!!

Looks great CJ! I like the time and dedication you put into your aquascape and how well you explained it. I always enjoy your updates.

This is the BEST video, ever, on aquascaping! Wish I would have seen this BEFORE I set up my tank! Great job CJ! And MUCH appreciated!

Looks fantastic! Excited to see what it looks like with corals.

Already loving the Hardscape :) so excited to see future parts of this tank.

Some of the scapes you featured looked so pretty .... scaping tanks is the best part of the tank I think and the rock you chose looks really good 🤗🤗

Looks great CJ. Looking forward to future updates

You nailed it CJ. Looks really good!

Nice work man, you got me hooked on the hobby once again. I definitely learned something new and have implemented it into scaping my reef. Keep it up, I can't wait to see more.

I'm really liking how the rock scape came out. Looking forward to seeing more progress. One of my fav channels for sure. 👍

Excellent video! Great approach and outcome!

Nice job CJ loving this build can't wait to see the next vid take care m8 !

Absolutely gorgeous. And I thoroughly enjoyed another video. Thanks!!

This is the BEST example of how to (simply) aquascape. Thanks!

Look soo good CJ nice to see see it all coming along

Great scape CJ! Awesome vid as well!!

Nice CJ, I'm well enjoying this tank build.

Amazing! Great Aquascape. I know it took a long time for you to figure this out CJ. Can't wait for more updates.

that tank is coming together i cant wait to see it a year from now

One of the best aquascape I've seen. Liked the videos

Looks awesome CJ, you made me want to start my new build asap

You did a awesome job CJ.

Awesome scape, man! Can't wait to see it evolve once you get some corals in there.

Fantastic update, I really like your thoughts on (if it's ugly for 3-6-8 months so be it) I see so many posts on FB groups where people say things like "my tanks been running 6 weeks why are my corals dying" You take a look at the bigger picture on a realistic time scale, happy reefing man.

Earned yourself a subscriber! Look forward to the process.

wow. this is looking sooo promising! absolutly cant wait

sweet video I see you are very methodical towards the step you take on your tank.

looking good cj!! I totally get taking your time on the build and the scape it took me a little over a year to get the things i wanted for my redsea reefer 250 but its finally up and on my channel u have been a huge inspiration.

and thank you for making another GREAT VIDEO C.J really liking the tank...

I have to say you are the man, Tank looks awesome man.always love all your vids

The scape looks nice ,and a great video,I enjoyed watching

Hi there CJ, thank you for this informative video man, just started my aquascape today and I'm using Aquaforest Stonefix, by the way Reefgirl from Canada sent me over to your channel and I'm glad to find the help I need right here, cheers dude 😀👍🏻

Perfect!!. As the rock turns live, it will turn gray, and you will never see the stone fix. Perfect scape to go with maxspect gyre.

Great looking scape. My next tank will be a fresh start for sure. I like the idea of keeping my old rock and livestock but there is something to be said aquascaping with dry rock. Well done man

Hey, I like that idea of a visual guide with cardboard...Great advice.

Wow, new to your channel. Awesome work Fam. Starting my new build you got me rev up thanks.

CJ its looking great so far i am so glad you are using the Pukani thats what i have also. BRS is so cool.

Been watching your videos since the jbj keep up the awesome videos!

Killer scape man! Looks awesome!

You are soooo good at this whole aquarium thing man! You should be doing this full time!

Sick scape. might have to get u to do mine once I get a bigger tank. videos r the best of the best.

Looking great bro love the scape it's the real deal ✊🏾

CJ, this is a great video. Thank you for putting it together. I'm past the rock scape portion of mine. I sure wish I would have seen this while I was working on it. Your rule of 3rds is cool. I've heard it before, but watching it as you built was very educational.

Bro really good work

This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing your methods.

At first it looked like a lot of rock, but it came together well. Well done homie.

looks fantastic. great job.

Only a weekend isn't bad to scape it. I had ever changing rock pile on my office floor for weeks. Your end result Looks great!!!

That looks awesome man! All my tanks have always been a "pile of rock" type scape but for the 220 I'm planning now, I'm definitely going to do better. Keep it up bro.

Awesome. Loving it CJ

Looks great.Thanks CJ.

I been watching your videos and man this aquascape it's amazing lots of space for fish to swim and coral placement very nice work CJ keep the videos coming man I can't wait to see your tank running and fully stock

Scape looks fantastic cj quality as ever

Nice work CJ!! I had a saltwater tank in the late 80's for about 5 years.. Then I got out of it because of a mishap with my heater... :( Anyway, I'm getting back into it, but so much has changed. To help me ease back in a couple of months I'm setting up a 50 gallon Red Sea Reefer in my bedroom as a reef tank. So when I finish my basement next summer I would have a better idea of on setting up the 280 gallon custom FOWLR tank i'm putting in. Keep the vids coming!!! I gotta a lot to absorb!!!

Great video very informative! Gotta step my game up.

Your camera work is amazing
