I finished the monster:


I decided that I probably don't have enough rock in there, the structure is made up of almost 25 pounds of macro rock rubble. I decided on 2 strips of ceramic rock wall to add a nice 3D effect to the "ribcage" and I want to keep as much of the sand bed as clear as possible.
I bought a piece of wall and cut it in half (easy with a hand saw) and siliconed the halves to the back of the tank. MUCH better looking than what I could have done DIY with the pond foam/macro rock/egg crate/epoxy formula. The pieces weren't quite tall enough so I did make 2 small DIY rock wall spacers at the bottom part, also helped to hold the ceramics up. Once coraline takes over hopefully it will look more seamless...





more to come....

Very neat build! Love the kaiju concept, building a sculpture as the hardscape is a fun idea. Plus the whole build looks very clean. The stand especially came out well. Can't wait to see how this looks when it grows in. Keep us posted!
