I really enjoyed making this video.Giving you the viewer an insight in to how I hardscape my 600L tank. I included a few tips along the way that might inspire/help you out whilst you rescape your tank.

Hardscaping your tank should be enjoyable but practical for the species of fish you're keeping.
Ps Info on my lighting - Hi there, iQuatics Aqualumi series 2. 5ft 6 x 80w. 3 x marine white. 1 x blue antinic, 1 x 50/50 and 1 x tropical. I only have 2 bulbs turned on for the video. the marine white and 50/50.
