last night i FINALLY finished my rockwork. it turned out better than i anticipated. the downside to using pvc is you see some of the pipe but after i get the calcium reactor running it will be disguised with coralline. in the middle of the tank i'm saving to put some of the rock from my current tanks, i'm not putting it all but there some pieces i dont want to part with and they have some nice corals attached. the water is cloudy because i just put the crushed coral in last night but slowly it is clearing.

Very nice tank! Love the aquascape, very well done! I see that you are using a vortech pump, how do you find it?

thanks guys, i like the vortech. the wiring is a little nasty, i'll clean it up once i do all the wiring. but the pump is awesome. extremely quiet whisper quiet actually, lots of flow. its a little annoying not being able to direct flow in any direction but for where i'm using i need it to go across the tank anyway. there is a second vortech on the way next week. i got some filter floss today to try and polish the water a little. it is still cloudy so i'm hoping it will help.

here's a few more pictures from today, i made up some brackets to mount my co2 bottle to the top of my stand because of limited space at the bottom plus i think it looks alot neater. the brackets are 1/8" stainless and each held on with 6 3/4" wood screws so i dont think the bottle is going to fall. there is also a full tank shot of the rock work, i forgot earlier
