Very cool rockwork! Kind of looks like a jigsaw puzzle with the rock sliced like that!

Spectacular!

Thanks Dan - I went through 2 blades on my DFS-100, but I'm happy with the results.

It's actually very easy to move. While it may appear to be a single piece, I built it in 4 sections, with the biggest being only ~9" long...


This makes it easy to move including removing any section from the tank if needed. Two of the top "bridge" are free floating (no epoxy.) I used a Dremel with a tile blade to create "keyed" "pieces much like Erika's jigsaw puzzle reference.

It's making the trip to the office tomorrow, after a morning coral delivery

Thanks Erika How's your plumbing challenge coming....Herbie...Herbie..

I'm gonna give that Herbie method a shot tomorrow (off work)! No local places sell 1/2" gate valves so I'll be making my fifth trip to Savko! I really appreciate the help!

Glad to help - Your design is "way too cool" to allow a little plumbing issue to get in the way

But at least everything fits












I took a few quick PAR readings. It's a good thing I planned for lots of shaded areas

I am assuming those values will drop a bit once you add water, eh?
