    Thanks Chris!

    Here's the prerequisite pre-stocking photo, although there is much work before anything living enters the tank.

    Default You Can Have My Inland Saw When You Pry it From My Cold, Dead, Hands...

    My "Skeletonized" (yes, I just made that up ) rock concept continues to evolve. I'm starting to get a sense of what's possible. Here are a few shots showing some of the process...

    The goal is to carve each piece so that light and water can pass through it, enabling multiple levels to be constructed while still allowing light and flow to be delivered directly below it for lower light Corals (i.e. Chalices, Z/Ps...) Flow is further defined by controlling the shape and location of the base pillars and through the use of jetties that direct flow into the coves.

    With any luck, my EPO will arrive today and I can start epoxying rock tonight.
