Looks really good! I love all the open space for this fish. Nice work!

Really like the new scape are you going to add the artifical corals also ?

Thanks everyone. It's always hard to settle on a new scape.

That was the original plan but now I'm going to try them with soft corals.

I know a few on other forums that get on well with soft corals and puffers.

Have a Heineken and you will figure it out.
Idea how about a center column with two flat peninsula one either side. Like a T. Drill through the rock and use the PVC for you support system, and run the PVC under the sand to support the wings/Peninsulas

That's something like I thought I would go for but when I tried with the PVC structure at that size it looked so fake I didn't like it.

I'll try and put something in their today to help show the size and scale because it doesn't come out on the photos.

Love it man!

I put a 1.5 liter bottle of coke in for size reference:

I also drew on lines to see how the scape does in relation to the rule of thirds.

pretty happy with it, once the corals are in place it should work quite well.

I like that. Simple

When are you going to get it up and running in full ? Are you in the new house yet. Getting cold now. Was minus 6 this morning in Bergen. Time for wooly socks soon [emoji3]

Still a lot to do before I can think about water. I'm not rushing it, I'm done when I'm done and so is the tank. only way I can do it!
