Would you mind posting pictures from the sides? I'm interested to see what the overall aqua scape looks like. The back looks really good!

I've never been so mad in my life!!

Looks really cool! Is the live rock stacked or is it fixed with putty/cement/etc.?

A little bit of both. I secured it to the rock wall in a few spots.

Well, I really like it. It makes me think about making a small insert for just a portion of my 300. Would provide another area of attachment for a gorgonian or soft coral. Have the perfect spot in mind already...

It can actually act as a little safe space for pods. I get a ton of pods chilling in mine.

I love the look of the covered back wall. It looks more natural and gives you a lot more space in the tank. Nice build.

Doing this with my 960g. 3 sides foam rock wall. It’s an inwall plywood build so wanted to cover 3 walls. I’ve done it multiple times before but I never resin/sand the foam. Coralline grows so fast on the foam for some reason.

Looks great
