^^^thats the same photo, one straight on and one looking down.
i love the tall slim piece, it stands up strait and level on its own. i hope to put something like xenia or anthelia(sp) or gsp on it. something fast spreading and full of movement

Nice job on the rock wall. Question how do you plan to replace the powerheads when they die?

 

[reefmanmatt]

looks good , enough of the aragonite stuck to give a neat effect . cant wait to see it with the coral back in !

thats a great question! :sad2:
didnt really think that one thru, i can say this tho that the cord is near a seam that connects the structure as it was in pieces in order to fit in the tank. so i guess i will 1)rely on tunze durability 2)pull the cord thru the seam if need be!

does that foam dissolve? does the foam just stay there?

 

[reefmanmatt]

milky from the foam you meant ? maybe a fresh fill and drain before salt wouldnt hurt more pictures !!!!!!
