![]() Wayne, thanks for the props. I would utilize the sides of your tank since your tank is not viewable from the sides. You have a "mountain" look now. I leaned rock on the sides of my tank. Some people don't like to do that, but my overflow and returns are on the sides and I'm never selling my tank anyway so I wasn't worried about scratches. Also, the magnet trick, you could mount another 20 frags with magnets on the side and back wall. My tank is viewable both sides, so I have no back wall. That's prime real estate for you.

![]() The rock is placed to utilize the available spread of light I have right now. It's fairly dark towards the back and the sides. I might need to consider different / more lighting... or Lower my lights and take the optics off. I then run into adding more rock to the DT. I've done it once with no problems, but not sure I want to risk it again. |

![]() Another FTS for good measure, bad picture but I'll likely get the hang of it some day.
I'm starting to think the spilled lighting is causing my camera to go crazy. ![]() |
