That's only if u don't decide on getting LPS that's stays on sand bed like scoly or plates etc. I constantly have to blast sand off them -.- kinda dreadful lol.
You've noticed hey...lol. This is due to three things. First when i did the sculpture it was braced on 1/2" pvc pipes but they cracked so i had to replace it with 1" pipe but forgot that extra 1/2" inch it gave the structure, then the weight of the thing was too great to put in on its feet so it rest on tw sheets of 1/2" of plexiglass so it too raised the sculpture again. Then the third reason is i'm an idiot, like i said in my videos on making these sculptures, dont start sculpture until you have your tanks as point of refference for your scale or you'll have issues with scales ... i started without my tanks , yep.... didn't listen to my own recomendations.So there you have it lol. But it actually wont be a big problem really. But it almost was. Anyway if you want to see how i did it this is the link; http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=98466
