Looks awesome man! I can't wait to see it in person!
Hey Sammie, if the sand layer looks thin, it is. Brad done the whole epoxy sand bed http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=392144

Wow Brad that looks sweet! The sand bed sounds really cool, I remember reading that awhile ago.

You did a sweet job on placing the rocks and corals. The sps looks like a forest!

Keep it up:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks guys for the kind words.

I'm having a hard time getting the colors in the photos correct. The pictures still look nice, but the first thing my wife said after she saw the shots was it looks a lot better in person.

always does

Very Nice...

Very Nice...

Very nice... I just got some of the Envirotex Lite epoxy to try a faux sandbed on a 20gal long tank I have...

Mantis, I take it you used the Envirotex Lite also ?? If so how much did you use and where did you get it ?? I only found a small bottle (2ft sq area) at Jo Ann's. If I did my larger tank(s), I would need quite a bit more I think...

I agree, after seeing it this past weekend, the photos don't do it justice. Very nice Brad.

 

[MiddletonMark]

Gorgeous in photos - must be stunning in person.

I used 1 gallon of the Envirotex Lite.
Got it from Dick Blick Art supplies.
I actually ordered 2 gallons, so I have one left, with no idea what I'm going to use it for if anybody is interested in buying it, let me know.

Nice tank there Brad.

Sump in the basement, or what?

Brad, what's up with the lighting system? Is that permanent or temp. If permanent, can I see a pic of it?
