This one didn't fit in the tank.
The blue tape was supposed to represent the inside dimensions of the tank. I mismeasured. :mad:

These two were the final models.

The coral imprint is done with a DIY rubber stamp.

I think you have inspired me to give this a shot! I have a tall 65 and love the way you used the vertical space and made all the “uglies” disappear!

Did you make the silicon stamps yourself? That’s the part that’s racking my brain. Lol

looking like the lamark needs a new home. as he's become the biggest fish in the tank, he's become a complete jerk.
I've got one blue green chrome beat up. and he chases any other fish that gets near him.
sucks. one of my first fish. grown from 11/2" to over 5".

AND NOW THIS.....
so I've never had any crazy algae problems. a little here and there never bothered me.
I went 6 months with out doing a water change. after an ICP showed high aluminum (MarinePure Bio Block leaching)
I replaced all the MPBB's with SeaChem Matrix and started doing weekly 30g water changes.
Since that change I've had explosive zoa, paly and monti growth along with a lot of green algae growing on the scape.
It's growing in areas of lesser light and areas of high current. thoughts?

I'll get one when the lights go up.

these two pics, I don't know what this stuff is. bacterial?
usually shows up twice a year and I'll run ChemClean to get rid of it.
grows in very low light areas only. blows off in to snow like particles.
