290G Peninsula Tank

Hey Leah, there is a few pieces of that against the overflow wall. It was a base type of rock and that's what I've tried to use it for. I drilled a bunch of holes in it to allow for frag pegging if it ended up being visible. The rest of this comes from eco-reefer and marco-rocks.

looks good mark! i personally think it looks a little more natural if you build overhangs or use rock crevices as fish shelter rather than a set of caves on that one end but minor stuff. i'd keep it low and leave your sps lots of space like you have it.

any jig-dancing lately?

Mark I really like the low laying rock. Im looking at doing that to my Cube once its stops being -47 here in Manitoba. Are you going to be running the Tunze that low to the ground

Here is one of my problems...the house builder made some cosmetic changes to my stand design and one of them included a double wall on the overflow side of my tank covering most of that side up. In doing that, I asked him to cut four 3 1/2" holes out of the wood so that my pumps could go in before the tank went in. He did this but when the tank was installed, I noticed that the bottom two holes were very close to the tank bottom.
The true issue didn't rear its head until I put those pumps in while aquascaping yesterday. They are only 1/2" from the bottom. I am probably going to have to place a rock below them in order to avoid sucking up sand.

Yikes, there's no way to enlargen the holes to let them sit a little higher?
