I'm not parting out this time!

Here's a few more shots I took before applying epoxy and lifting the structure into the tank.

Big thanks to Kien for supplying the acrylic rods and direction!

I see you also enjoy converting living spaces into tank construction zones and well as ruining perfectly good pliers. Nice work on the rock tree thing, do you have a plan to prevent yourself from knocking it over once it's full of nice sps growth?

Yeah those have been my reefing pliers for a few years now lol. and the construction zone worked pretty well. i could sweep water back into the circulating rock bin as it fell on the operating table and re-submerge pieces once they were drilled.

The top overhang is drilling and there are tripled-up zip ties connecting it to the glass anchors i attached to the underside of the overflow box. The structure is very stable actually.

despite my best efforts to clean and dry the tools that I used for my rock work they all ended up in the garbage anyway. All rusted and beat up.

Great top down shot. It's hard to really get a sense for depth and aspect with structures like these in 2D images.

Thanks. yeah before i use these pliers or my old wire cutters which are now reef zip tie cutters i open/close them for a few minutes under running water then paper towel them to minimize rusty juices lol. both were good quality to begin with and still work well enough after 6+ years of sorta mostly reefing.
