Lots-o-potential. So Saturday is the big day then. Well, at least there will be some settling time in the meanwhile. I can see why you're frustrated. I can't imagine a build where things have gone so horribly wrong. Oh wait, wait, are we talking about THIS build? In that case .. um, yeah, never mind.

Anyhow, yeah, in all seriousness ... looks good from here!

Where are the rocks sitting, off to one side? Any plans for the other side?

took the scape that you see there and elongated it a bit...so theres a nice little valley and two islands....there is no piece of rock within 2 inches of the glass though so it'll be easy to clean with a magnet.

Everyone here is so anxious to get fish in there...I have to keep telling them "dont touch the effing tank unless I okay it" ha ha

Lookin nice. That appears to be the mined-from-the-ground rock that's being sold all over now? Or is it actually dry rock as in fiji or whatever?

I like it! Lots of little hidey holes for critters.

thanks Lance...I was actually really surprised how porous it is...TONS of small holes and swim throughs etc...and for 65lbs there was a crap load of nice sized rocks next to no rubble.

Brett it's all Key Largo dried rock...going to grab a cup or so of live sand from a LFS in the area and away we go!

so yeah, no big deal...the pumps are running. A customer here who is a plumber said if more gph were going through the pipe than dripping the leak would get "sucked in" enough to stop the drip and I could glue it while the tank was running. Totally worked.

Lights should be here in a couple days!
