An update on the tank I finally purchased a stand for the tank and put the live sand in it.

I have to figure out how to mount the light and place my liverock order now.

Thanks I'm shocked about how well it's actually turned out since I was skeptical about making a foam background due to seeing well done and not so well done ones on the net.

I can't wait to get the rock in there and get some sps coral growing on the back wall

This is the best rock wall I've seen. It doesn't look like foam at all. I'd love to do a rock wall tank and I'll definitely save this for a how-to guide.

Watch "Golden Marindo Premium Live Rock" on YouTube

So I ordered 15 pounds of this rock today from liverocknreef and am hoping to get some awesome shapes and rock to work with for the foundation of the reef.

Also pic is of the tank after it cleared up after the install of sand

Thanks I apreciate the compliment. Obviously you see I've been taking my time with this tank trying to do it properly

I figured since the wall is a success it was time to move the build to members tank journal thread but I will still update this thread with progress and answer any questions that involved the build process.

Here's the link to my tank thread now that I will be updating more often then this one.

Well I figured I'd show another foam rock wall I did for my mantis shrimps fluval edge.
