Killer thread. Thanks for keeping us updated.
thanks, sand was added first then rocks. the foundation consist of 4 large pc's 92, 78, 68 & 60lbs then more were stack on top of each other pc's with tons of character to create a larger pc seem together. smaller pc's was used to covered all the outlet of CL making them nearly invisible.

Good luck getting them out, if you are going to. It would probably be better to throw a live 110v romex in there and shock em out. Just kiddin.

1000lbs Caribsea Bahamas Oolite sugar fine grain. they are the whitest live sand i've seen unlike fiji pink. the tank ledge is 6" and my tank sits 5" below ledge giving a deeper look toward the bottom. granite blue pearl for tank ledge is being custom built from a friend and white ledge will be replaced.
