looks good so far man. You could enclose the two with a larger box. It would tidy things up a bit. I don't think it would change the function any just the look. what's your plan for flow?
Yea I don't think I'm going to do that unless I absolutely have to because my tank is running fine how it is. If I ever have to do hardcore maintenance or big water change then I will but for now it's good. And my flow is 2 RW8s and a rio 2500 plus for the return

Looks really good. I really love the rockwork and how it's laid out. So much open space, yet I can see you have plenty of flow through it, with enough hiding spots and a great blend of light and shadow. Also, lots of shelves to place corals.

Thanks buddy!
Hi Isaac,
Just noticed your thread--really enjoy it! I admire (thankful, too!) people like you who show your trials, errors, and successes to help the rest of us. Videos especially for the DIY stuff. Great ideas, by the way.
Your aquascape is very cool--open, with a great natural shape. I'm setting up right now, so good, small-scale 'scapes are an inspiration.
I'll look forward to seeing your setup mature.
Enjoy,
Gordon
