That's not sweat, but close enough! And I'm not running it through an RO for my tank. This isn't Waterworld, sir! And I'm not Kevin Costner.

It'll do in a pinch. A few more minor tweaks and we should be golden!

My wife said "Why is it so tall?"

Ummm... Sand is 2.5" deep.

OOOOOH, My Yellow Wrasse would love to sleep under that.

Looks good to me.

I did the frag plug holes at 12mm. They're too small for most of my drag plugs. Gonna redesign at 13 or 14 with no "holding teeth".
 
Also, glued a bunch of the frags that were laying around my sand bed.

You could try a circular/triangular shape hybrid, kind of like a wankel engine piston. Would give you a solid 3 points of contact and may be flexible enough to get a little wiggle to fit both plug stems and get a bit of grip too. Maybe, just a thought as sit on my thinking chair.
 
I wonder how that Scoly or Grail would look as a centerpiece coral in my 8 gallon...
 
Even if you win! congrats. I don't mind who does. But, it gives all of those who doesn't have a hg torch a free chance at one.
I was actually going to get your address and have him ship it to you if I won.
 
Scoly is a 76-78f type coral. I was thinking about getting one until I found out they like cooler waters.
I'm out. I run my tank at 78. It peaks at 79.4 a couple of times a week.
