What are the covered with?
The 45° elbows were coated in hot glue then rolled in Sea Floor crushed coral substrate. With time I hope they will be almost invisible, at least less than a white elbow would be...lol

It was a lot longer than I wanted it to be, especially with my old 180G sitting there with bar clamps holding it together...not visually pleasing, or comforting for that reason. In total I think it was 2 1/2 - 3months. There were some setbacks due to some errors when the tank was manufactured, as well as plans changing with the closed loop design, but in all, very happy with the change, no matter how long it took.
