Have you thought of doing PVC base for your rockwork? You've got such a nice long tank & plenty of rock, it just has that "piled up" look. I think you could create a stunner without too much effort. I'm just OCD about aquascaping, you've got a nice set up, but why stop @ nice when you can have smokin'?

I had to look at your avatar twice! An Oiler fan in Calgary? Couln't be! It's not natural! I love the Flames vs.Canucks games, but Kipper drives me insane, he's too bloody good;)

More rock , new tank, looking good. When I saw you were selling your old one I thought you might be leaving the hobby.

Hey what can you do with a pvc base to improve your aquascape?

Pvc can act as a scaffold. take a masonry bit & drill your live rock & secure it to the pvc construct with zip ties. You can get quite creative & minimize contact with the sand bed, create better flow, minimize "dead-spots" & add tons of caves & crannies for the fishies. Use black expanding pond foam to hide any exposed joints or to help blend structures together, etc. I dry fit the pvc together & drill holes through it so the zips can fit tight.

I know dude, even an Oiler fan wouldn't call their own team "losers". Cool avatar.
