John did everything..
As far as the integrity, if I were you talk to John and ask him. I think you would have no problems. It also depends how thick your acrylic is. On mine I have 1" acrylic every where, except the sides which is 3/4".

Mine is all 3/4" and as far as talking to John, he must be super busy lately. Haven't been able to contact him.

Here's some rockscaping I did tonight. The mat the rock is on is the exact dimensions inside the tank. Tell me what you think.
HONEST opinions. If it looks like doggy poo, tell me, just state what you would fix please

I think it looks great. Good job, how did you attach the rock together?

Balanced it.

Trying to hard
Consider drilling it and placing acrylic rods. Either way I would bond them together with epoxy. The design looks great. Only one thought (and it might not be possible), you might consider adding flat ledges that jet out from the towers. This provides great place to put frags.

Okay, got my Novus kit in and tested it out on the scratches.
HOLY CRAP!
Easy peasy, gone just like that. This stuff is magic in a bottle. Anyone thats got Acrylic, this stuff is your best friend, so easy to use, not that much elbow grease, especially if you get the buff pad for drill. Works great!
Tank looks brand new again

Okay, could not for the life of me recreate the exact same scape that was on the floor. But I did the best I could.

I really like your tank, nice clean look! And that sump..! As far as the rock work goes, i find myself liking the right side better than the left. Looks more natural. Maybe try making that archway a little lower, to give your future sps some room to grow and fill the void. Really great looking rock by the way, and cool pics of the acid bath. It always reminds me of something off Breaking Bad when I see it..

Yea the acid bath was cool looking to me as well. Had to capture that moment on film lol

I am also trying to remove scratches from my tank. Do you mind answering a few questions? Did you get Novus three steps kit? What kind of buff pad did you use? you used buff pad for all three steps? Thanks.

Don't mind at all. Yes I got the Novus 3 step kit. The buff pads were wool and they were Novus specific, found them on Amazon. No I did not use buff pad for all three steps. Just step 2 really. You don't have to at all, just takes abit more elbow grease, but not bad at all.
