Could you post it? I looked back for a pic, may have missed it? Thanks
Made a short video, it shows it off better. The rock and coral have been in place for 2 months. Still in frag mode.

Sorry about the shaky, color changing cell phone video.

There's a product someone could market: coralline or rock colored zip ties.
Nice chef! that looks great!
Colored zip ties works be cool. I wonder if RIT dye is reef safe?
Is there already a good commercially available dye for rocks? A spray or something thick that could be brushed on in different layers to give color variation. One thing I wasn't sure I was going to like, but ended up loving about the vidarock was their coloration. I almost opted to not have them do it, very glad I did.

Did you guys happen to watch the video I posted? Tell me the purple colored rock does not look better than the white corner corner piece that you see at the 42 second mark. I added that corner piece a week after the main structure was in place. The main structure may look like its coralline covered, but less than 10 pct of is covered with it. I posted another video when I first put the stuff in the tank and you can see what the raw purple coloring looks like. It looked good, but now after a short time it's mottled with the real stuff and looks awesome. They don't paint it a uniform purple, it's brushed or sprayed on at varying intensities. Really looks nice.
Sure in a year it's all the same, but to me the off white and soon brown diatoms will cover it looks ugly. Maybe if the entire tank was the same it wouldn't be so bad, but for me to have this one off white piece it doesn't look that appealing. If I could dye it, I would .

about aquascaping and how you design your aquarium, I think it depends on some factors:
1- tank size
2- tank kind (reef or FOWLR)
3- the fish or reefs you are gonna or love to keep
when your tank is a sps dominated one, then you should create good space for them to expand.
I love to create a mountain in the tank like coral reefs in the nature and also I love to keep different kind of corals together!
this is my new tank that I lunched 4 month ago
and an other picture just two days ago !

After reading this thread and looking at a bunch of crazy cool tanks this is what I came up with for my 93 cube.
