since i havent posted in a bit i thought id give a bit of a verbal update tank still sit beside the 90 no stand started.. i hope to rectify that soon. but work has been slow. anywho i have started the rock wall but have so predesign inhibitions. i keep looking at it unsure if its going to work or not. ultimately what i need to do is a water test of the plumbing before i continue to ease my mind but having a difficult time finding some plumbing parts i need. the whole idea of the rockwall it to make it not just a wall per say (rocks stuck on a wall) but a natural flow of edges shape and dimention. and right now i just dont feel creative..i really need to get out of this creative slump.. so thats where im at in stead of writters block i have reefers block.. purchased a few little things here and there mostly supplies...see what happens this week

to make it simple a few pics of plumbing and rockwall framing for the overflow area... just have to start adding rock and foam...

Ohhhhhhhh the anticipation!! I can't wait to see how this comes together..have you picked up the rock yet??

[lockrookie]

yes i have 77lbs of dry rock waiting for me to take a hammer to it. as wel as some other 50lbs of wet dry rock(dont ask) armed with zip ties and two cans of great stuff foam.. and two cans of resin and a couple bags of white and brown substrate to mix into it for texture. the overflow wall has to be built in two parts in order for me to hide the eggcrate and my support beams. i will take pics of all that before i start. i hope it works and i dont hate it.. or worse the wife hates it

Are those rectangular holes for return or closed loop nozzles?
