I really love that aquascape. How did you end up making your aquascape did you chisel some pieces and use epoxy or did you drill and use rods?

All caught up, the tank is turning out really nice. I like the long look of the tank with the brick.

I had all these great plans. I bought a bunch of epoxy and glue, drill bits, dremel, pvc rods, etc. and didn't use any of them. I stacked and got something close then the community here helped me decide on removing or keeping some stuff. I need to show you guys a top down.

I may have missed it, but how is that flow working out for you? Any review on the powerheads you are willing to offer?

Flow is good! I am trying out some things. Right now I have 4 MP40's cut back to about 50% since they are on the back glass and they move the sand at the front of the glass. Then on one end I have a couple Neptune WAV pumps rocking the flow from one end. I am about to install some Rossmont pumps to test out!

Took a "white" light iPhone video with most pumps off and the tank room lights on. As you can see I have a lot of easier corals in the tank since it's still young but I'm beginning to add more sps. The tester frags have been doing great!

Pardon the cheesy YouTube music and bad quality.

Rev., that is purely glorious!

I love the zoanthid peninsula - I'm envisioning your tank grown out, and the different zoas blasting a rainbow of colors, as they rise up and into the LPS, which rise again, toward the higher parts of the rocks - where the SPS take flight, high into the water column, guiding the swimming of that diverse crew of fish . . .

Okay, yeah.

It's a _real_ nice tank!
