Thanks everyone, finally finished. Frags are still a little angry, but here it is. I'll be glueing some gsp's pn the white areas of the center backdrop soon, which should help reduce the starkness.

Sorry I haven't been able to respond, I was away and for some reason I could never sign in on my phone. Anyway thanks for all the kind words and interest.

For those who asked, the product I use for coloring and "scuplting" the pvc and the acrylic is called Apoxie-Sculpt made by AVES STUDIO. It comes in many colors, which you can mix as desired, and is completely reef-safe and cures underwater (if needed). The large frag shelf, which is made with Apoxie-Sculpt, that appears early in this thread has been in my tank for 9 years with no issues. I also use it to mount frags sometimes.

I actually finished the tank last night, more pics coming later.

That's such a cool concept! Definitely giving me some bad ideas.

Aves Studio, the company that makes Apoxie-Sculpt, has taken an interest in my little project. They made a tutorial and put it on their website. If anyone wants to take a look here is a link. Enjoy!

Looks like the perfect way to keep frags in a display without detracting from the overall appearance. Well done.

Will be placing an order to build some GSP islands, up high in my main display.

 

[rhdoug]

Are you going to do a magnet shelf on the glass, pillars, or something else?

I love this, great ideas and execution! I'll be following for sure.
