Right off the start elephant rock is just the name for my rock structure. Nothing new or exciting ha ha.
Never started a tank thread with my last tank, a 60 gal with a big arch. So i decided i needed something with a catchy title.
old 60 arch
The new tank was to be setup during a house move so i moved the 60 to the 90. I ran in to complications with the sellers and my landlord a week prior to the move and ended up having to take down the 60 and setup a 90 in one day. Impossible!! so the tank at like 430 am wedenesday last week was being setup in 33 gal totes in my new basement.
They entire contents of my old 60 spent a week down in the basement, while i set up the new tank. I lost a bit of coral, But saved all my fish and even my tiled starfish!
Now the new tank!

I love glass holes overflow. Thanks very much to jhonny c and A reef creation for first having my tank in stock and second drilling my tank for me in the clutch.
I painted the back and bottom of the display black. Inside the stand white, back and bottom of sump black, and plumbing black. looks pretty slick i think.
Looks similar to the old tank right? kinda like the old tank was hit by a big wave. I think it looks like a elephant now.
Some pvc is still exposed but this should be covered soon. It still needs a electrical box to hide wires, hang my lights, hook up a refugium, and a black 90elbow.
let me know what you all think.
