WOW! That skirt really brings the whole project together, really excited to see where this one goes.

Still need to do more aquascaping above the shelf and hide the pump.

Looks good. How's it looking under the shelf?

There is sand down there and a lot of hermits live in there.

I need to get more of a cleanup crew. Some detrius but nothing the current crabs can't handle.

Also picked up a sea cucumber.

Nitrates and Ammonia are zero.

The whole thing looks really neat. Love the crevasse, that really gives it a pop.

I'd love to see a drop off tank one day where the rockwork actually ramps up closer to the surface and then plop a wavebox down at the deep side just to see what the wave would look like.

Oh so the waves crash on to the rocks?

+1 That would be awesome to see waves crashing onto the rocks!
Maybe an MP40 or MP60 might do the trick, unless you can hide a wavebox within the rockwork on the opposite side.

Neat! Never seen anything like that before, way to think "outside the box." lol

Heh for the next build. Wave box built into the underneath chamber.
