I think the rock scape you have now is actually very nice. Has a very natural look to it.

Awesome build and great work with the stand.

Just a little up date.....so far everything is doing fine and adapting very well, by the way let me introduce my new helper Kimberly, lol....

 

[JRWOHLER]

Very cute helper...sump is super clean too.

Thanks James, the only thing is that she has to lern to check the water temperature with the thermometer instead of her fingers, he, he....

4 Binky's, 12 Lego's,2 Verizon Remote Controllers, 1 Piece of Tupperware, 2 balls, 4 Hangers.

- Then I child proofed my sump. Chris was never a crawl in the sump kid.. he was put stuff in the sump like daddy did kid. He also liked to catch the hermit crabs in my refugium and set them free on the floor.

would do it all over again if it meant sharing the hobby with the kids. He even found Red and Green algae at the jersey shore for my fuge.

Dig the scape. I notice you have drilled separate holes for the return. Using both the holes in the overflow for drains?

Joe I did not drilled the tank....I'm using the same over flow holes one for drain and one for return, what I did was replaced the threaded elbow from the return where the loc-line adapter goes with a regular elbow, added a piece of pvc pipe to get it to the middle of the tank, put the threaded elbow pointing to the front glass then a Y loc-line to split the flow in two different direction.
I'll take a pic later when I get home.

Ok Joe, here is a pic of what I did....let me know if you have any questions bud.

 

[Juano908]

Not a good update.....just got home and found out my tank is crashing due to a high swing of Alk and Cal........Sunday was my little girl birthday and family came over.....found two of my nephews playing with the dosing pump but never thought they'd could change the settings.
Here are some pics.

Everything is back to normar and tank seems to be stable again, too bad I lost my pink branching montipora frag, my Rastas and other zoas melted away, my red cap continue dying too but the rest of the corals are doing good.......lern my lesson and I child proof my stan already. ....
