Thx
a little info on the rocks
The one on the far right is one big piece it was even bigger but the chap I got it from broke a little off before hE decided he couldn't use it and sold it to me, The box was around tolal 188LBs so I deduce the weight of that one rock to be around 90LBs.
The other three were rock sculpting I did with techniques I read about and saw , some on this forum, It is my 1st ,2nd and 3rd trys at it.
I am not 100% sure I will leave the middle 2 pillars as is, I feel I can improve here and I am leaving the possiblilty of removing and refining the middle area, some thoughts were maybe tonga branch or slab to either give plateau or fence effect, just thought mind you so far,
to elaborate more on the equipment and setup
Running DIY bio filter {FuGe} around 65gal
I underStand might be a little big for 90gal but I wanted more NaH2o
for balance and also really anticipate enjoying the Fuge itself.
DiY auto topoff
a couple more notes i have the display tank on the 1st floor and the fuge and appartus in the cellar, works well so far and acts as a chiller too boot!
I am using 2 sequence dart pumps
one for return and one for closed loop that has a oceans motion squirt controlling movement
I mounted this anterior also is vertical deploy
btw what file size is good for pics? .sry pics so big , still learning
lights are 1 each 250mH 65k bulb
6 ea t5 @ 39w
DIY hood
i have more pics if u want posted on my clans server

looking good neighbor!
maybe you could lean one of those rock columns back some so you can put corals all the way down it? i see you have to place some of the more light intensive stuff on the tops of the columns, and the rock is empty below it. maybe you could put some fast growing zoos/palys more towards the base, and let them grow upwards towards the light.
btw, there is a reefkeeper in KOP who has some very nice zoo frags at good prices. i have some cool looking palys that everyone seems to like, which would do well at covering the lower areas. :wink:

maybe this would work if not I can wait till you move.
I think meeting some peeps that do this in would be beneficial
seeing how others techniques bring them success
