Scape for an in-wall 180

[User]

Here’s what I’ve come up with- mix of BRS reefsaver and Pukani, including a 21x13” shelf (was 26”, but trimmed it).

The main piece of the archway is one glued together section, which will then stand on more reefsaver base rock and hydraulic cement support pedestals. This’ll elevate the rock a couple inches so that none of it is under the sand, but will still be fully supported.

The main arch will be at 14”, the pukani tower at 16” and the pukani shelf at 10”. Lots of hidey holes and some shaded areas for more light sensitive corals

Here’s the final in-tank shot. Couple slight differences, but once it fills out, it’s not going to be noticeable.

After A bit of patience with the dremel to grind some flats, and some judicious application of hydraulic cement - everything is ‘rock’ solid (lol).

Sand will be rinsed and added tomorrow [emoji3]
