I really liked that middle tower but another swim-thru is also nice to have.

You've got a nice slope on the right for mounting coral too... personally I'd remove that little vertical nub you added to the end there as it will block a lot of coral from view when looking in the tank's end maybe...

Ya, we liked it too, but it had to go as I needed more LR
Literally minutes after it went in the snails were all over it

I agree with the small bits I added on the right
They're loose and are only there to help add some coralline

Looking at the tank again this morning, I'm not going to add anymore rock on the left of the right pile. Looks like a great spot for some larger critters

I love the new aquascape. What type of epoxy did you use? Would you mind sharing the brand?

I used this epoxy the first time around. It's really strong stuff when cured, but I highly recommend you use it outside of your DT. If you handle it in the DT, it will cover everything with a messy residue. I could clean it from glass and such, but it stuck badly to the skimmer cup and stained the socks. It needs to cure in warm water, so it's a bit of a pain to use
Last night I used this glue. It's much nicer to work with but nowhere near as strong. Although it may seem expensive, it's actually much cheaper than the $6-7 75ml tubes of loctite

Thought I'd share some angled shots to show all the coral mounting locations and the dual swim-throughs
