Nice rockwork Wayne!

Is it Pukani rock you used?

I can smell the salt already:)

Hi Mathias. Thanks for the comment No that's reef rock that has been cooking for about 2 years and along with other rock I've picked up along the way. I smell the salt too but it's a distant one,,,,,,,maybe.
 
Made some more structures to day. More mid to low.

And I need your opinion on this one.

I really like the last one. Great SPS canvas.

How heavy are the structures? Will they be difficult to lift into place? Any chance they will break when placing in the tank?

Sorry for all of the questions or negativity, if perceived as such.
 
First of all, your tank is sicker in person and second when did you take those pics? Lol. I still say nix the 80 lb each boulders and use the best pieces from the old tank.

Those last pieces have to weigh least 40 lbs max. It's not negativity, its called critique. They wont break. Maybe the tank but not the rocks.

OK it is a little sick. Thanks for coming over and doing the structures for me. I took the pics maybe 15-30 mins ago because others were wanting to know what the update was. And I agree, I'll use the rock that I have in the 225. I finally cleaned half the tank after you left. It was in denial to long.
 
Good morning Wayne,

are going to lay something under the rock construction
before placing it in the tank?
Like a sheet of egg crate or maybe some plexi?
So that the rocks weight isn't centered at one spot?

Guten Morgen Mathias.

No I won't. Since it's acrylic I don't believe it will be necessary. I used the egg rate on my glass tanks to protect the bottom class
 
man this is moving along slowly but surely. Like the layouts above. I agree on ditching the last ones. Do you plan to move all the LR from the 225?

Bills have to get paid first. Then it's basically how much money is left in the budget.

I would say about 100 pounds will go over. Depends on how much space is left for me to aquascape or add to the scape.
