Just converted my 90 gal over to this bad boy and set it up to be SPS dominate!

Oh please let me know what you all think of the scape too please!

The overall look has nice caves and swim areas with interesting shapes among the rock work.

Honestly, it is a little flat along the top for my tastes. I think I would lose the connector piece between the two large structures to solve that. Perhaps let coral growth bridge that in the future. Of course, that is just my opinion and good coral selection and placement will change the look over time anyway.

Hard to tell exactly from the images, but I would also be sure to leave space to clean the glass on the front and sides.

Mostly I really like it.

Both sides are free of rock it lines right down the center. The front has enough room to use a scrapper to clean, but I do have live rock up the overflow.

I made the 3 platforms as I was going for more higer level spaces for SPS growth. Looking at it last night I may move that platform.

Little tank update since its almost a year old. There were some challenges such as a failed heater that shorted out the tank (and yes I have a grounding probe on there and a battery back up now), but aside from all of that the tank has been healthy and going strong!
