Well mine is starting to spread there is little green and purple spots all over my live rock. I was gonna get some but the guy sold it so I didnt get it. I will have some good live rock when this is done in a few months.

Here joker pic 1 from side veiw to show you that some peices do stick out and almost touch the front of the tank.
This is way more sturdy and I wouldnt have no problem letting an anemone crawl anywere he wanted to on this tank now.

be careful because a brick wall effect can make the current go around and trap stuff inside the wall. still doing good so far

Well from the pic you can see my flow. I have 2 small maxi 400's on the back of my tank hiting the glass and going down "there the small black squares". Then I have the "big black squares" 2 livetech/jebo AP1500's hitting the front of the tank and going up. Then the other pic is my hang on filter and skimmer they hit the front glass and make a role effect not enough to see but if there is food or something floating you can.
I dont think I really have a problem with current lol. I have almost 26X turnover rating. Its like 25.94 or something like that.

Forgot the pic :rolleyes: .
And its not really a brick wall effect I just cant get a good pic. If you were hear you could see it there are lots of caves and peices hanging out I just cant get a good left side shot "our tv is in the way". From the right the peices in the middle come out and block the left side.

looks good but as said above i to see the brick wall effect.
its not about if rocks stick out of not or if there are caves but more that the rock look as if they have grown together . fit them like a puzzle . try to make the rocks flow almost as if one piece. right now they have a strong stacked effect which is what gives that brick wall look that people keep saying.
adding a few LARGE rocks instead of so many little ones will also help alot
but more important then what we think is that you like it

gl to ya
as a side note. is this a new tank for you?? meaning did you have another one before this?? with 2000+ post i expected to see a full blown reef. took me by surprise.:notsure:

Thanks blemmy yeah I have color on every rock I have it is just little specks here and there. I have mostly green "im glad it will look diffrent than everyone elses purple" and some purple.
doodle1800 My tank is a 55 gallon though I am going to add a fuge when I get the money sometime :thinking: .
oceana Yeah I love it I find myself looking at the tank way more often now and since it is "WAY" more sturdie I wouldnt have a problem putting an anemone in there. With the old look it just didnt look good and it "def WOULD" have fallin with anything big crawling on it.
And this is my first tank I just have LOTS,LOTS,LOTS and LOTS of research under my belt.
