Very interesting pictures. I really like the aquascaping and what you're doing with the extra flow. Looks good.

i had someone suggest that to me after seeing my pvc substructure. I thought it was a really cool idea. You may want to think about the placement of the power head that feeds the pvc. I cant tell from the pics if you can get it out easily to clean it? Cool idea and the tank looks good.

Very cool looking tank.
I like the idea of running wather through the pipes to create flow under the rocks.
What is the dimension of the tank?

Sorry to hear about your losses. Cucumbers are cool critters but not worth the risk IMO

How old has the tank been setup? I would imagine the cucumber would starve to death in a bb tank. Tank looks great though! I like the idea of the pipework waterflow too, albeit I've never liked bb.

the cucumber was in my 55g that has been running for 2 years , cucumber was 4 month in the other tank and crush is coming for bottom , i don't like BB aswell , not natual looking , at least thats what i think . , now that i have some time i will be finishing the stand and lights if my ideas come true , it will be cool i'm thinking polyester piano polished finish , as i work in a finishing shop sky's the limit with ideas we use high end italian products for some jobs ,

here are a couple things i have done :
