Just bought the Innovative Marine Panorama. I’ve got a friend building a stand. I’m currently playing around with the rocks during my staycation. Considering putting in our 50+ year old conch shell, but not sure if it is too big.

Heres my space:


Here’s my current rock setup:


Here’s the conch:


i will have to do the rock first and then see if there’s really space for the shell. Seems iffy.

Hope my pics came through. Feedback welcome. Patience is not my strength so it could be done.

Seems like a good hidey hole. It will just depend on how it fits. Does coral grow on it?
Coral will grow on it if it’s glued there, just remember as your tank matures it wil cover in coarline!

Welcome to the family! I've always liked the look of drop off tanks and the shell adds a sense of style. Just keep in mind that it won't look quite like that for long. Glad to have you with us.
