Looks better than anything I could come up with. Also my eye is not drawn to a single structure, so you did very well.

The middle piece is a “kit” from CaribeSea that has a rod through it. I bought Jurassic glue and Marco rock kit for the other structures, but not sure if that’s the route I want to go. Either way, I haven’t figured out how I’d get it into the tank..doesn’t help that I’m going to need a ladder to do it…I’m only 5”2. I used a step ladder AND my algae scraper( has an extension ) to spread the sand ;Woot;Wacky

Looking AWESOME!! Tons of swimming space. Might be a little low though in such a tall tank, any more rock to add?

Get it filled, working on the scape is easy as long as you scape it to your eye, you know what we have for flow, get it cycled! :)

Your probably right. I’m using CaribeSea Life rock. The middle piece is a “reef tree kit” that came with the rod to stabilize it. The islands are just their arches. They fit together well, but aren't glued together..was planning on doing and then got sick ;Wacky

Other than sinus infection, great :p
Oof, that sucks. I finally paid to have allergy testing done last year because I was tired of living on antihistamines year round & having constant sinus infections (not just seasonally like most people). Turns out, I had such a bad reaction to both species of dust mites & roaches that I had welts on my arm for 3 days. They mixed up immunotherapy drops for those 3, as well as a couple other plant things I had minor reactions to. It has made such a tremendous difference in my quality of life. The mites & roaches explain my constant problems I had for sure. I think I've had one minor sinus infection in the last year (when the jasmine & citrus started blooming - they don't treat for those), nothing compared to the severe ones I had every couple months before treatment started. If you can, I definitely recommend it.

That's why I'm staying in bed. I'm still debating how to add the corals without any of the CYNO that is taking over from getting into the new tank... ;Shifty;Shifty;Shifty
