Your tank is sick bro! It has turned out to be one of my favorites already! Can't wait to see it with some sticks!

Hey Nick, is there anything you would change about your setup if you were to do it again, like 3 doors in the canopy for example?

Did you drill your tank before painting the back? Does it matter either way?

Did you use 3/4" piping from your return pump to your seaswirls?

I ended up using half inch material so they would sit pretty far out of the water....
Get some acrylic the same size as the sea swirl then just drill it like 1/4 oversized and glue them in place with rtv silicone to the rim of the tank








also I ended up drilling my holes right in the corner (not like the picture above)  and run my seaswirls kind of backward facing if that makes sense...

Well finally settled in the new house and loving it =)  and finally found some time to do a small update....

Well the rock work on this one is a little different, but I'm happy with it. Its basically set up as 4 towers and each tower has a flat cut base rock so they really will never tumble over., the best part about it is that at any time I'm bored with the tank I can spin any of the 4 towers for a different look as each side of each tower is pretty much covered  with corals =) I'll get some better pics soon... and maybe update some info on livestock

Very cool Nick Cool
 
I especially like that you can spin each tower to change the view without rearranging everything!
