Very nice....James does do great work I see.
What do you use to keep those pvc mounts still?

Yes he did.
The switching valve is supported by two long plastic strap pipe hangers, the 1-1/2" pipe is clamped to the internal sides of the stand using clip pipe support clamps (my favorites) and the vertical 3/4" return pipes are supported by bulkehads on top of the tank. In all it makes for a very strong support which is easy to remove for maintenance.

Hi Jose,
Thanks for the update, glad it all worked out as you had planned.
Tank is looking good, love to see more pics as it progresses. I'll stay tuned

Hope all is well,

Hi Jose - It's been months since I've read any posts with you on here. (I'm not on here very much) All I can say is WOW!! What a project! Anyway, I live across the street (almost) if you remember, I throw my white and silver xenia in the can every couple weeks, so if you want to replenish your weeds, let me know.

Thanks James, good job.

Taylor; thanks for the offer, I was not going to add the Xenia but I was supposed to keep it for Tony (lactose) who was looking for some Red Sea specimens.

Trade secret!

j/k
Actually it is not joined nor glued. The rocks on both sides of the bridge are rather large rocks 25 anf 35 pouns each and then a large flat tonga rock provides the roof for the bridge and support for some smaller rocks on top of it.
