Welcome to Part 3 of our New Project Tank Installation at BPK Tashkent ????????
In this episode, we take the aquarium one step closer to life by adding saltwater, building the rockscape, introducing easy beginner corals, and installing the lighting system. This stage is crucial for creating a stable foundation that supports healthy coral growth and long-term reef success.
????️ What We Do in Part 3
◽ Filling the aquarium with mixed saltwater
◽ Creating a stable and natural rockscape
◽ Introducing easy, beginner-friendly corals
◽ Installing and adjusting the reef lighting system
◽ Preparing the tank for the next stages of livestock addition
???? Rockscaping Tips
◽ Secure rocks before adding sand for maximum stability
◽ Create open swim areas and coral placement zones
