Hydor ATO installed and 2 blocks of marine pure since we're going minimalist with the aquascape.

Since I now have 4 black boxes laying around I figured I'd throw one over the refugium for cheato.

Got the canopy hung and the 32" wifi SBReeflights installed.

Aaaaand the aquascape. Loving it! And I think the fish will love cruising around in all that wide open space.

The bicolor blennies barnacle penthouse installed.

Still have the doors to install... they were painted and ready to go when my son decided it was a good idea to write on one and trace the other with a sharpy.....[emoji51]

Just need corals...

how did you secure the rocks? They look like they would be top heavy. I like the look though!

Magic!

I cut all the bottoms of the rocks flat with a hacksaw and used Jurassic super glue gel to attach them to 12" ceramic tiles. The 2 stacked rocks on the far right I drilled a 3/8" hole in both rocks and inserted a fiberglass rod to hold them together. And thanks.

Thanks! I love the scape too. Wanted something different and I was a fish lover before I was a coral lover so I wanted them to have plenty of room to swim around. And I can't wait to see those columns covered in tons of coral! Then I think it will really stand out.

Thanks. I love it too.
It's "4" 12"x24" paintings on canvas and clear coated all hung side by side.
A guy named Rick Correira painted them for me.
