Wow! Awesome!

I like it... I may "borrow" your idea and build one of my own...

 

[Art_z37]

I'm following I love the lamp idea!

 

[Dixie_reefer]

Thank you everybody!! So glad yall like it, my husband and I are ecxited about this build. I am going to wait a few days to make sure the tank is cycled. I covered the pvc pillar with live rock but we were having problems with leaking within the pillar so in the time it took to fix the leak, the live rock dried completely. I placed live rock in the tank from my sump and some live sand from my lionfish tank to help the tank cycle. Since it's such a small tank, it shouldn't take long. I've also got some problems with shadows on the pillar that I need to tend to. I was hoping to attach my zoas to the pillar and have mushrooms around the base. I'm hoping it cycles quickly and I can finally get this show on the road for you all.

It took me a second to realize who this was! Hahaha Thank you Lisa, we busted our butts on this thing. Making it a lamp like this was CJ's idea of course. Hopefully I can start adding coral soon, I'll definitely go picture crazy once they're in. I also am getting Chris to order me two clown gobies, one yellow and one green. I also want to get a porcelain crab or two.

Threw my damsel in here to help the cycle along. I also put 2 small dead acro colonies, that was given to me by a lfs, in here for the future clown gobies to hang out in.

[Dixie_reefer]

Thank you both! Most of the corals are ones I already had or are frags of what I already have in my other tanks. I have more zoas to put in here, just haven't gotten to it yet.
