![]() I still have about 150 lbs of live rock in the back, so a couple of spots will be filled in.

![]() So let me get this straight.......missing sand, exposed acrylic rods, and pile of rocks(that kind of hurt, Brett).
Alright, I will attempt to correct and post new pictures soon. Thanks, keep it coming, it's easier to fix while it's dry.

![]() They are harder to see when water is in the tank, but once the coraline algae hits them they are hard to miss. I used rod in my other tank, and wish I would have used something to cover them as I noticed them easily after some time.

You won't see your rocks someday so the scape to a certain degree (imo) doesn't even matter. I actually complimented you on your rocks as they look now lol. I'm just concerned about proximity to glass. 3 inches is crazy close I think... Sorry piles of rock should have been called artfully crafted rocktographic masterpiece =) |

Good point, this is why I asked for suggestions. I would appreciate if everyone from now on would use "artfully crafted rocktographic masterpiece" when refering to any aqua scaping.

![]() First off, it looks awesome!
My biggest concern would be if you ever got something in the tank that would move the sand around some, the rods will be exposed. This would cause a big eye sore. My engineer goby's would have them exposed in about half an hour. If you aren't considering ever getting something that may do this, then it isn't a big deal. The other issue I could see with perchering the rocks up on pegs would be anemones. They may get underneath the rock and shift it around. They may even topple the rock on themselves. While it would be difficult to do, I've found anemones that live in the sand extremely powerful. If you aren't looking at this type of creature though, you have nothing to worry about.

![]() I like your concept, it's different! I'm interested to see how it looks when the tank is "broken in".

![]() Well I hope it all works out. I've done a few things that have been questionable, and some times I think I should have just gone with something a little more traditional. But I'm commited now and happy with the progress, if it works out the way I have it in my head, I know I won't be disappointed. I have a few things planned, that should work out to my favour by the design of the centre overflow, but I have been wrong before..........
