Looks good! What lights are you running? Are you getting more rock or is that it? I really like the look of all the open space

That's a cool overflow.

heh...awesome Sherri. Amazing how it comes together. What's the next step?

There are 14 39w bulbs: 8 ATI Blue Plus, 2 GE, 2 UVI 75/25, 2 Aquasun. In the picture there are only 6 bulbs on: 4 ATI Blue Plus and 2 UVI 75/25.

There will be more rock -- I like the open too so I want to keep space but all of the rock in my 65 will be going into this tank.

If you are interested, here a site that documents making the rock for the overflow:

Thanks Lisa! There are actually a few snails in there too. A couple did not make it but I needed something to push things along. So now it's just letting it rot for a few more days and then see if I can get the skimmer dialed in. Also, Shawn is going to put up the second column in the basement. Tiny steps and patience.

Wow! Really cool Sherri, I like your slideshow.

Thanks -- I cannot take credit for it -- as fellow reefer up here actually did it -- Scott. But it really does a nice job of documenting how we built the fake rock. I cannot take a picture that shows the difference with all of the lights on but it is an amazing fixture. I am going to measure par ...
