I purchased a tank that needed some work to get it up to speed. Since it already had a center overflow (which was roughly cut out) I decided to bore out the holes and turn it into a closed loop system with schedule 80 bulkheads. This is what I came up with for the aquascaping...

That looks great, really really well done. The video also shows off the tank's bracing at the top really well. The acrylic looks like an inch thick!?
Reef saver rock? Are you still going to have an overflow somewhere?

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! It is an inch thick tank, Marco Rock, and I ended up putting it on the top left...

Okay. That is just way too cool! Did you use any kind of adhesive on the rockwork or just the zipstrips? Never seen anything like it. Amazing!

I planned on using some emarco 400 but just ended up using zip ties... I will plant sps and caps around to encrust two rocks together all over the reef
