Ha patience dear friends, there is a splash of water in the bottom as i am still fine tuning things as below

So i spent the day in and out of hardware stores, and came up with this, it is a work in progress as you can see the lamps need to come forward by about 1 1/4" but that is eaily resolved.

Chris at Ai said the lamps need to be 6-8" above the surface for a 24" tank so will adjust these up once I have water in the tank

here are the prototype pics





Maybe that will give some other users some ideas

Looking impressive Like the rock work, is cemented/glued together ? What are your stocking plans in case I missed it ?

Nope I never glue rock together, make a nightmare for re scaping if required, I build using "dry walling" no not the stuff that lines your house Wedging each piece together and making sure it is stable, never failed me yet.

The tank will be mainly SPS and a few LPS, fish wise, only small fish, and a center piece, which i am not sure of yet.

First dose of Fauna marin Ultra Bio and Ultra Bak just gone in

Love the tank with the exception of the light hanging system. I think you can do better. Gotta be a slicker way to hand those lights then those chains and the huge pieces of pipe or are those just temporary?
