WOW!! lots of intense hard work and about 3 hrs of time.
it is done, well at lease the main framework is done. im sure that i will need to touch up some sections of the rock placement and hide some of the red acrylic that may be noticed.
i would venture to say that i tripled the functioning surface area of the live rock in the tank. i no longer have rocks piled up like bricks. i have them shooting out all over the place and its going to allow the fish plenty of places to hide and feel secure but still be visable under more situations.
i also have very very little rock touching the back glass and none touching the sides or frt glass.
will post pics as soon as the water clears. (tomorrow)
