    So, is that rack just two pieces?
    There is just two structures/pieces containing several smaller pieces that have been aqua-mended together.
    Is it man-made?
    It is all dried live rock & Aqua-mend

    That is a great ricordia collection! Will that be in this tank as well?
    Hopefully, there will be enough room for all of them.
    I have 82 different color morphs.
    How do you plan to secure them with all that flow?
    They will be secured with super glue or Aqua-mend.
    Ricordea Florida can handle higher flow if attached to rock.
    It sounds like a lot of flow.
    But after all of the piping and after it has to move around all of the rock, it is more of a medium flow from every direction.
    It is like having a Wave Maker without having to lower the water level in your tank.
    And it is totally adjustable via Ball Valves.

    Your guess is as good as mine.
    I will get a close up for the experts to examine.

    Please tell me your putting in sand?!
    There will be substrate on the bottom.
    Still debating on what time.

    What is the fish list going to be?

    Is the tank going to be stocked with strictly Florida Ricordea or Haitian Ricordea or will you include some Yumas?

    That is a question I still have.
    It will for sure have a Pair of Potters Angles as soon as I can find 2 that I like.

    I
    s the tank going to be stocked with strictly Florida Ricordea or Haitian Ricordea or will you include some Yumas?
    It will have both Florida & Haitian.
    Presently, the Florida far out number the Haitian.
    There may be to much flow & Lighting for the Yumas, but I will be giving them a try.
    I have 3 that I am acclimating.

    Sweet recirculating idea!! The skimmer gonna be plumbed in recirculating also?
    This system will have a Sump w/Skimmer along with 3 other tanks.
    I forgot to mention that there will also be ( 2 ) bulkheads from the return pump for a total of ( 9 ) bulk heads in the tank.

    I don't know what is more impressive , the Tank or the RO/DI system. Very noice!
    The "Pre-Filters" are left overs from my " Fresh Water Days ".
    Which I use instead of the Pre-Filters on the R/O unit.
    The ( 3 ) Housings on the R/O Unit are Clear, which I use all 3 for De-ionizer.

    Impressive design and layout. I'm not sure on the name of the rock either but I bought some live that looks similar and have found it to be a detritus/algae magnet. Though with the multi-angle flow you'll have you may not have that issue.

    Also, what are those red polyps in the background and how can I get some?
