I'm all for lots of sandbed, so the less LR the better.
And a natural 'this here and that there' look.

Nothing in a Reef Tank looks worse than a 'fruitstand' layout, with it sloped from the back to the front.

I agree. I do not care for that look as well. But I quest everyone has their own ideas and preferences for aquascaping

And on the 2nd day he said "let there be light"![IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...psw132qm4a.jpg[/IMG]

Maybe paint the PVC black or silver ? :-)

I'm using black gorilla tape to wrap all the wires to the pipe...so most of the pipe will be black. Maybe one day I'll pretty it up a bit. I just want this tank running lol

I think the rock is decent - I like the shelf pieces. I don't like that piece that's at the front near the right side that's sitting all by itself - I'd just remove it and have some nice open sand area. I might even remove the single one behind it too.

I agree. Jim and I moved that piece and a few others around on the right side today. Getting some figi crete off Eli tomorrow and I'll take a photo of the final design incase things get shifted again

be careful what you wish for :lol:

oh, and I had to google gorilla tape. That's cool, except it'll be a royal pain in the ass to remove any one of those lights if you every need to service or replace one.

Maybe corrugated conduit piping ? They sell these at Ikea and other places to help wrap up and hide computer wires behind and under desks.

Use it to wrap over your PVC and hold your light's wires in place. I use it under my stand to hide/cover my wires.

That's a good idea. Changed the right side of the tank rock around and created a cool cavern and overhang. [IMG][IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...psjvrnxyco.jpg[/IMG][/IMG]
