Beautiful Tank. Hopefully you haven't already answered this question in this thread but I'm just curious how you attached your live rock to each or are they just placed very strategically?

Thanks Jaws! the rock work are pegged together using a 1/4" or 1/2" acrylic rods. I was originally going to use epoxy but after I pegged them I didn't see the need for it anymore, since then sponges and encrusting corals made the structure even more attached to each other.

Here are a few update photos..... all taken under two ATI Coral+ and two Reef Brite one XHO and one normal output both are all blue.


grown from a frag, this is probably one of my bluest coral unfortunately it doesn't completely show in the photo.


this one was id'ed as exquisita acropora from a reliable source


here is the same coral last year as you can see the tips are stating to turn yellow/green. it's just not a pretty blue coral!


here is my icefire echinata with full polyp extention


here is the same icefire echinata without polyps

As much as I like to view the system up close ie. my head right in to the glass!!!!! I also enjoy looking at the system a little further back, so I thought why not share it with you guys and see what you guys thing....

Here is my view from the left side. The TV in on this side of the room, and when ever the baseball game gets out of hand I find my watching the system more the game.



Here is the view from the right side. This is what everyone see when they first walk in to the room.

as always (except for that one time when it didn't) tank is looking slick man!! Really love that GSP wall. I keep thinking about doing that to my overflow wall but I'm terrified to try LOL.
