New Rockwork!!

Although I really liked the caves and overhangs on my old rock work

I was getting a lot of dead spots. This shouldn't have been happening with a mag 9.5 as a return on a 29g tank. But it was because one of the returns was pointed directly at the rock on the right hand side. I was also getting a big dead spot under the right ledge. Another problem is that I didnt have a lot of sand space that saw the light of day, and I wanted an trachnophylia.

All of these issues culminated into me reworking my rockwork.

I still have my caves, the flow is quite a bit better, and there is more sand under the light. I am fighting a hair algae problem at the moment, but that has gotten better with more flow bi-weekly water changes. I think I might get caribsea's phosbuster and use that weekly until my phosphates get down to 0, then use a phosban reactor or a filter sock holding the material under one of my drain lines. Either way I think this problem will get licked soon. I just thought I would post the pictures and a link to the site in case you wanted to see more.

Thanks Whiskey. I am using a Canon Digital Rebel camera shooting in RAW mode. I used the standard lens, but I used the quantaray macro filters on this lens. I believe in this shot I used the 2x Multiplier. I couldnt get a good depth of field using the 4x multiplier.
