Turning out to be a nice little set-up. Looking forward for the pics on the rock work. Be interesting to see the difference between the 2 light combos.

"Enter the Dragon"







Would have to say it's about 35-40 pounds, 4 different rocks, stuck together with acrylic rods, epoxy, and black uv zip ties. I think it's going to need a lot more epoxy before I sleep well at night Had lots of fun playing around with the rock!

Going to have to try and make a video once there is sand and other things in the tank. Pictures really don't do this rock justice. I've been 'cooking' it in the dark for almost a year now.. but I saw a few pod creatures last night.

Lighting is stock cf quad, until livestock from my other tank moves in

Killer indeed! It's so tight, there's about 1/2" between the rock and glass on the front and sides

Wow, that looks pretty awesome. I was wondering about the clearance. You're gonna need a super low profile cleaning magnet for the glass

Looking forward to watching this one progress
