Finally Posting my 475 Build Thread

Here are a couple pictures... I don't know if I'm done, may add a few pieces in certain areas. and I still have a couple more bags of live sand to add.

Love it! If I were you I wouldn't add anymore rock it looks perfect. Let the corals fill in the rest. If you're worried about the rock handling your bioload you can always add a marine pure block or something of the sort in your sump. I am a fan of less is more with rock work....either way phenomenal build and can't wait to see how it progresses!
 
Looks like you went all in :) Back up generator and all. Love this build. Maybe you will to fill the tank up at the next swap :)
 
Very nice tank!
 
I've heard mixed reviews about those marine pure blocks. I'm not really worried about the bioload on the rock, there is around 300 lbs of rock in there so I think it'll do just fine. I just want a couple more pieces to fill in by the overflow box and maybe a couple smaller branching pieces, nothing huge.
 
Tank is going through it's ugly algae cycle. I will get some new pictures this weekend and post them.
