I would leave this piece as is and maybe add a small island with a cave for hiding on the right side. I would love to have this piece in my tank. You have room for coral, swim throughs etc. I already have a new scape built and ready to get wet whenever I'm ready but now I would love to do another one based on this structure. If I thought I could sell scapes for a living and it it didn't cost so much for rock, I could do that all day everyday.Saturday progress report. PVC cement was a solid glob so no setting in the return plumbing. Luckily thats all I need to cement in place. Ordered up lights for the cabinet, new cement, An Alexa for Apex integration, wire management trays and some fasteners for mounting controllers. Funny how we always overlook the little things but i want to do it right the first time.
So what did we actually accomplish? Not much. Wanted the boxes of rocks out of the living room so I started a scape. Spent a couple of hours working and wound up with this. I like it but it still needs some work. Need to stretch it out a little end to end, possibly totally separating the left side and right sides. I also need to re-hang the light to get a better feel on shadowing. Will get to that this week.
