Are you going to use e-marco 400 or some other type of mortar to secure those rocks? Or just the zip ties? I would suggest going with the mortar once you're happy with the structure. It's pretty awesome stuff and you won't ever worry about any rock topples.

Great question, I’ll use emarco 400 in strategic places specially for the next step... good recommendation!

That looks pretty good already! Nice use of the height in the tank. Will mean the fish also use the full height of the tank.

Skimmer is hopefully on its way soon with tons of other gear from Aquarium Engineering, this will for sure do the trick!

I showed Marcy the time lapse of you rock building and she was impressed!

Things are looking great! I am excited to see water going in!

I love the integrated UV on your skimmer, I have design envy!

May be time to get your rock stack dialed in

Always tried to do this in the past with my UV drain exiting right next to my skimmer intake... makes tons of sense, Nuke the bad (and good) and skimm out the dead stuff

Kid testing the 720:

Best post EVER! I'm following. Not because you toss your kids in the tank (okay, sort of), but because this will be fun to watch.
