Oh i guess I hadn't even read your sig to realize you were from Ark. I'm from Colorado Springs and the sun shines almost every day of the year so we have a LOT of people around here with solar panels.

NICE! To be honest I am not a big fan of artificial rock! But you have been an inspiration to everyone with doubts. I really like this system, it's by far one of the best I have seen in a while!

Amazing!

wow the tank is maturing so nicely. the foam really does look natural. After seeing this thread a while ago I decided to make my nano (30 gallon) back and sides with handifoam. It was only started about a few weeks ago and can't wait until the foam starts to get covered like yours.

oh and what a beautiful anemone.

Thanks Genin, I didnt come up with the Idea I just admired it also and chose to do it as I had seen others here on RC... Such a great resource Yours will be covered with coralline in no time... Something to consider that I would try if I did it again... PVC shavings become covered/ encrusted in Coralline in a very short time... GARF has a study on this... If I did it again I would impregnate the foam with PVC shavings

INV... I went with a rimless Frag tank because of you LOL I love it!

Simply amazing Chris! I haven't looked at the thread in a while and I just got up. Man what a phenominal set up. Like others I just didn't know what to expect with the foam - but it looks so natural! You can't tell the fake rock from the real rock in your "little test." Kudos to you and your amazing tank!!! What an inspiration you are to myself and many others.

Ya I got the Ca+ pretty tuned now... Ca+ is at 375 right now with 50dkh

Today I have been mounting the SPS frags that I have collected for the tank the last 8mo. Now about 2 yrs and it should like I want it LOL

As I was laying on the top of the tank and fiddling inside I found that my belly button would actg like a suction cup.. each time I would get up to get another frag it would go "POP!" as I pulled away from the tank ahahhahahah

too much info I know but it bwas funny at the time
