Very nice looks good
Thanks. I wanted to do this recently, but with corals encrusting on the rocks, I didn't want to rearrange too much. I'll definitely do some ant-gravity stuff if I ever start another tank. Have you done this?
Thanks Aquaticchoas!
Thanks for the favorable responses my friends. For all those who asked about the Red Planet progress shots and what it looks like today, thanks, these next few photos are for you. Let me know what you think.

RP stopped growing, lost most of it's color and even receded because I didn't catch an alkalinity drop for months, but is now back an kicking some saltwater backside. Otherwise I expect it would be bigger now.

Thanks! Luckiest shot of my life.
Love the mp40. Using it in Lagoon mode at 75% power. 100% causes underwater sandstorms. Corals and fish love it. Probably one of the top 3 investments and I bought it used. I wish it were smaller, but if it means decreasing power, I'll stick with this.
It breaks up the rock wall. When rearranging there were a lot of oh crap and why did I start this moments, but worth it. Get two more hands though.
