Thanks. And to think it only took 4 hours

I still need to spread the sand around. You can tell that most of it went into the cave. Probably need one more bag of sand.

Yes it's a trap and it works. I haven't used it in awhile. I probably got rid of several with all the rocks that I removed today.

Sweet. We got rid of our bristle worms when we broke down the 90 gallon

Thanks. I've been looking at it all day. Almost like having a new tank. I needed to make room for more corals since my other setup was basically a pile of vertical rocks which limited what I could add. Now I have many places where I can add stuff. I just hope it doesn't fall :scared:

Oh yeah, I have been picking out places for certain corals that I want. Not sure what's going in the cave. Only problem with the sun coral would be feeding it. Maybe a chili coral? So many choices now.

True but that cave is big enough that if you get a smallish one, you could feed it pretty easy with the cup method. You got alot of room there it looks like.

100% improvement.
It just looked like a pile of rocks before. I'm about to redo my rocks also and add somewhat of a cave. It won't be as tall as your's though. I went to home depot and bought a sheet of clear acrylic and glued four clear acrylic tubes to it for legs to make a shelf for my rock to sit on. I will then put other rock in front of the legs to hide them. That way I'll be sure that my cave is stable.

Funny thing is I just measured it and it's very to close to being 13x13x13 Couldn't have done it if I had tried it

Yep. Started with 194 lbs rock but probably have taken out 50+ lbs. I have 100 lbs of sand and will be getting one more 20 lb bag tomorrow.
