The piece on the left side of the center stack glues to the top of that set to increase height.

nice, that is sorta the design I want to have with my upcoming tank with islands. That is the rock you bought? If its dried how do you plan to make it live again? I think I want some.

Thanks

I only will use dead rock with some seeding live rock. I dont want to bother with hitchhikers or anything else.

too spooky.

I will take some of my other rocks from nano and have it seed the rest of the tank.

is it possible to have live sand and live rock rubble in the sump seed the dead rock?

im just going to have live sand from nano to seed the sand in new tank.

my mexican turbos will help spread coraline allover the dead rock.

not sure if I am going to sand the sump.

Excellent work! That is exactly what I want to do when I upgrade. Is the epoxy the only thing holding it together?

and love.

:snicker:

it SUCKKKS to do, I shaped the rocks with pliers and fit them over and over. I only do one piece at a time at night. that way I can focus on it.

Looks good, my only critique is the bottom rock on the pillar on the left looks a little too square for me.

However, that is certainly a personal preference.
