So it has been a while since I updated... Things ended up moving a whole lot faster than I planned. We noticed the stand the temporary holding tank was on was not holding. it had started to sag and the legs were splaying... Therefore the fish got moved to the new tank about 5 weeks sooner than I wanted.
I have put a larger peice of PVC around the 1 " returns and have drilled 1 and 1/2 inch holes to hang the rockwork as best I can.
This is the right Pillar initally
The left pillar initally
I then had a little issue with keeping the pillar glued down. I had initally just siliconed it to the bottom of the tank. I have now used coral glue and aquarium expoxy.
It now looks like this:
I still have some rocks to finish hanging and then I can glue the few corals I have.
