Is there anyway to make it to where the tile is tilted like 30-45 degrees inward? This will mean better light coverage, less shade for the coral below it, and it doesn’t stick out as far as it would if it were completely flat.

Yes I can do that, these are about 25-26

Ok. I would be for grow out plates (mostly zoas) and I would like a 45° angle if you can do that. Do you have a web store or Etsy or something?
No I don't at this time. I do this as a hobby, it's fun, and to help fellow hobbyist. The SBB forum is where I lurk and most jobs are custom prints for people.

If you want to send me a DM we can discuss details, I can share some of my other work.

I would stick with the 25 degree because you don’t want the tile to fall out

That’s what I was trying to see if you could design. At 25 degrees the tiles will shade a good amount of the coral below it. Especially if I end up putting several frag tiles on the walls. I am out of room on my frag tank so I was trying to get the tiles up on the walls and since they’re zoas, they have no problem growing at a 45 degree angle. They would probably end up running the length of my walls. Depending on how well it works.

Maybe a slight lip around the edges or something so it won’t slide off. What do you think?

Are you using 2” tiles ?

was you ever able to do something like this? I am sort of looking for the same thing, some kind of grow out that you can place on back or side wall, go at 45 degree angle, and optimize space in a smaller grow out. Top shelf aquatics utilizes something similar where they have a vertical grow out on the back wall of their tanks.
