Don't know if i posted this before or not, blame the scotch not me. But anyway, its the tank at the Wind Creek casino in Montgomery AL. I think it was made by the guys who do the show Tanked, you can see the size of the tank by the bartenders at the start of the vid. I go there a couple of times a year, will try to get better video next time i go

trying to use the left over marco rock for the AIO aquascape, just propped some up to see if my insta-scape skills were good. little short but I want plenty of upward grow room. the rocks are basicaly verticle on the back side with decent mounting (coral) on the front side

Visually, I like it! What are the coral stocking plans, and how far under the water surface are the tops of those rocks going to be?
SPS, stylo, branching monti, encrusters, etc and later acro for the tops of the rock. plus anything that can take the high PAR for the bottom. but its going to be basically SPS

10 inches is half way, I want room for growth, but maybe 12 to 14 inches may be the best bet

Shopping done and now home. Got my birthday present and surprisingly my anniversary present a bit early. The hunting shop in town had a good deal on the pistol. I shot it a few minutes ago and I love it! You wouldn't think 6oz would make much difference when carrying it but it really does.
