Well guys its done and its been 3 weeks since I decided to redo the tank reef structure. Of course it is still a work in progress but now I feel I have room to grow.
I am very happy because now instead of seeing a reef full of live rock, there is more real estate space for corals along the pvc.
Because of the width of the tank my structure was limited. Taking into account for furture growth this bought the structure to a limited height also.
Here are some pics, in a few months I will do a before and after.

This was the fun part trying to figure out where to attach the corals

In 3 weeks the pvc is already showing signs of coraline algae growth!

There is no actual pump running water thru them but each piece has drilled holes that will allow water to flow thru it.
I will keep you guys posted on the look of it in a few months.

Thats gonna look really cool once everything grows in. I would probably take advantage of the PVC holes though and hook up some low flow pump to it

I took this into consideration. Every piece of pvc has a lot of drilled holes for circulation from the 5 pumps that circulate water around the tank.
