Mixed reviews? That is probably one of the best looking aquascaping jobs I have ever seen! Great job so natural looking.

Big E Do you have anymore pics of your tank I would like to see more...
Not sure which pics your'e referrring to, but those aren't mine. Those are pics I've kept for ideas for my own setup. I just moved my corals to a smaller tank & am in the process of re-scaping & eliminating colonies from my collection.

Did you "document" your making of the LR?

I agree with dailydriven911 -- the only mixed reviews you get should be somewhere between, "this is incredible" and "this is perfect".

Now that's aquascape, people!

Here is a picture of mine when I redid the aquascaping a couple years ago.



And here it is grown in.



IME, in an sps tank you want to use minimal live rock to allow room for the corals to grow in.

Very nice design! That will look awesome when your corals all grow in (IMO it looks awesome now )

Awsum, I will never look at rockwork the same again....



Kiwi, Travis and ROBZ I love the large colonies, you rarely see that anymore. Way to give the corals room to grow into large colonies. Now adays tanks seem more to be frag tanks with litte frags placed on top of each other. . Sometimes you see more egg crate in a tank than anything. Impressive.
