I dunno know what that wuz :huh:

 

I got the rock from a LFS in Boca called The Barrier Reef for $2.99 a pound :scarry:

I figured it would cost the same if I had it shipped to me and I would not be able to hand pick it, It is some nice rock with alot of fossilized coral and shells on it

Thanks Richie!

I finished zip tieing the rock and adding the great stuff to the larger piece but I got tiredz and didn't finish the epoxy and sand part...it took 19.5 pounds of rock for this piece :eek:

I am trying to figure out how to move my 40 long and put this tank in it's place while I run it for a while and let the rocks get some life before transfering mah stuff in there...hmmm

That's really intuitive envy, or at least for someone without brainz.

Yes that was my bro's idea..can't take credit haha he said let's put them side by side as we fit the rock so that when it is in the tank you can't really tell it's 2 pieces...he is shhmart :lol:

Yay rock wall is almost done..just needs some touch ups..the eggcrate shifted a bit with the weight but it is an easy fix :) here it is using the cheapy flourecent fixture that comes with the tank :rolleyes:

The right corner is left open for a live rock pile and the fuge sits behind it
