Very nice. Must be a great place to work and thanks again.
I think I might have come across another build of yours, is that correct? I am reading it now. Somehow I entered towards the end and a transfer of tanks so starting from page one

Iv'e been using some different scapes along the road, from the "wall of rock" to this one with two distinct island where fish can hide inside the rubbles. The primary objective for this one was to be able to efficiently house fish, including the ability to catch them, separate them and handle them without too much hassle. I made two nets, by which i can divide the tank into three separate areas for introduction and catching purposes... Both rubbles come apart in fairly large bits which makes catching a hiding fish a breeze.
However, since the tank is almost fully stocked and since i kinda grew tired of the rubbles, its due for a rescape any day now

Here's my artwork for a client. First time scaping for someone else. Was a lot of fun!

Nice scape. You put some good into thought that.
Here are some pictures of rock work I designed for a 660G reef tank - 300cmx110cmx77cm(h)

I love building aquascapes. They are my favorite. I use *Apoxy sculpt or Magic sculpt. Both are a two part epoxy putty similar to the putty sticks sold to stick coral to rocks. The upside is you can get 4-5 pounds for around fifty bucks. And trust me when glueing rocks together you will use that much easily. I can fly through five pounds in just a couple of sittings and not have much to show for it.
The two brands are pretty much the same with slight differences. Both are aquarium safe. The Atlanta aquarium uses *Apoxy sculpt in their displays. This 2 part is a little bit stiffer to mix (its like play dough and clay) and it takes about 8 hours to set and about 24-36 to cure completely. It can be purchased in an array of colors (which I love).
Magic sculpt is also a two part epoxy putty. It is slightly softer, especially the resin, you get 5 pounds (2 2.5 lb buckets) for the cost of 4 pounds in the *Apoxy Sculpt. It does not come in as many cool colors as the *Apoxy sculpt. It is cheaper per pound than the other. The biggest pluses and why I actually have grown to prefer magic sculpt is that, it's slightly easier to mix, which doesn't seem like a big deal till you need a couple of golf ball sized pieces, and it sets fasters. Which also doesn't seem like much until you're waiting days to get a structure done because you have to wait for it to dry so it doesn't fall apart when you move it.
I have gotten to build some pretty elaborate pieces and the putty is usually stronger than even the rock when it's set. Learning to attach it to the rocks is a bit of a learning curve but if you've had luck attaching coral plugs you probably know some of the tricks already.
