Very cool. I used foam in my FW Planted tank with good results too. It was a test for possibly using it on the walls of my reef tank, but when I decided to go with Vortechs, I scrapped the plan. I remember from a while ago you said you had glued the foam down to the tank bottom and I should have done the same. I built foam rocks and shelves around milk crates etc. but could not get them to the bottom of the tank, no matter how much weight I strapped to them...the boyancy was way to great. Pretty foolish of me to think I could do it that way, but I was recovering from a serious brain injury. :lol:
The Volcano is really looking good. Even in that pic you can see a tremendous volume of uniform bubbles.

I built that sump with spazz- that's when I realized how anal and methodical he is with his builds. I told him it was just a sump but he had to have it perfect and air bubble free. Any way it holds 327 gallons. We had to build it that big to handle all the overflow from a power outage.

Unreal. Some of these pics I can't even believe what I'm seeing.

Energy, the last set of pics you posted leaves me speechless. I can't even mumble out the words to describe how great your tank is looking right now.
I have a question. In all the pics you just posted I looked really hard and could not find a single spec of hair algae. What are the main things that you feel helped you to erradicate the hair algae that was there? I've always battled bryopsis for years and no matter what I do I can never get it to leave.

I continue to be amazed with this tank! Seems like everytime I check back the pics get better and better. I wonder if there is such a thing as skimmer envy? 
If so, I think I have it from looking at that beast. I'm curious if I could pursuade Spazz to move to Wisconsin to my backyard just long enough to have him build me a beauty like that?

You don't need him to move to your state for that
. There are a growing number of us that have Volanco skimmers (the one for our tank should be done soon ). Here is a place to go to order :www.aquaticacrylics.com
