This tank has me rethinking how I do reefing .

Beauty in person, excited to see how the zoas grow out.

[Misses.ReefWars]

Haha now that's what I am talking about...thinking outside of the box thanks Levi!! .we are really pleased with how its coming along, all our collector zoanthids will be beautiful once grown out and the system has matured

[FishyFishy!]

Ive literally wanted to do this for years!! One of my favorite tanks out there was the famous volcano tank. Really looking forward to this!!

thanks eli!

when its all said and done all good projects start from a great foundation , in this case we went with the pukani its shapes were perfect and we couldnt pass it up eli was nice enough to let us sift through the rock late one night at a last minutes notice and helped us pick our pieces , he supplied us with the cement and information for the design not to mention the actual stones he didnt even think our idea was stupid lol

this tank has fijireefrock written all over it lol



up next: our pics on how we made our structures , the rock we chose and a few tutorials on how we finished our design and made it all come together
