Colin, do you have pictures of your PVC structures before the rock? The wife is starting to put stuff in the tank and if I dont get them built soon she is going to have piles of rocks for me to work around.

i do scott but i actually left all the rock in the tank too but when i built the structures, i laid a tarp out on the floor on top of towels to protect the floor and would build the structur outside the tank in sections and would install them after. if that makes sense get a pvc cutter before you start i didnt know they existed until after i cut everything with a hacksaw

Wow Colin, the tank looks fantastic and I love the rockwork on the LHS. Makes me want to try that on my next tank.

So are the sound effects in the video your lens ricocheting off the glass?

Agreed on the awesome rock work!!! I have been looking at agrocrete to get that effect but this looks much better... pardon my ignorance but did you affix the rock to the PVC with silicone or just prop it up?
