The aquascape is planned for this Friday. Will be using Marco Rock shelf rock. Joe Caparatta of Unique Corals is coming by to help with the aquascape. I'll be sure to take photos and get them updated for the thread. Sorry for the delays.
Good things come to those who wait! ;)

And wait... and wait... and wait.. :p

That is sharp, and a Unique scape. I like the minimal contact with the tank bottom. What rock is that? Hows about a top down shot

Wow, that did turn out great!

It is a little dry for my taste though. ;)

The tank was aquascaped using Marco Rock’s new Premium Shelf Rock. It can also be found similarly at BRS as Reef Savers Shelf Aquatic Dry Rock. You can really make some creative designs.

The bottom pieces are cut flat so they lie flat on the bottom.

Haven’t decided on sand. I think it would look good with or without. I will probably start without And see how I like it. The advantage is I can really crank up the flow without.
