Hiding in the back is the column stack that is going to take every bit of skill to have sturdy with the supports hidden. I have been saving it for 5 or 6 years for the right tank It is 3 separate 16-17" coral heads that grew together and *almost* fused into each other.




And the R Marshall Islands side.. boy the flash removes all depth. My goal here is to get a reef outcroping, and have believable generations of SPS Skeletons growing on top of older/ deader colonies.

I am using a HUGE 10" + table acro skeleton in back and a few others from a friends tank that crashed 6 years ago. I think, just like film sets, if you want realistic illusion, you have to have a convincing "history" behind the rockwork/ props.

This side will be (hopefully invisibly) epoxy-ed, acrylic rodded, and made very solid. I have my spots for Caps and Stags already planed.
