lhcorals July 5, 2009 July 5, 2009 I decided to re-aqua scape my tank and put together a column in the center. Here are a few pics of building the column and the tank after the rock work was complete and some other stuff. LMK what you think good or bad, all comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

lhcorals July 5, 2009 Author July 5, 2009 How were the two rocks in the fourth pic attached? I drilled holes big enough to get wire ties through the smaller rocks and the main tower piece and wire tied them together. Also covered wire ties with 2 part epoxy and put some in the crevices. It was a lot easier then i thought it was going to be. The hard part was getting all the rock work in place the way i wanted it. I am pretty satisfied with it, More importantly is my wife was really happy with it.
Sikryd July 5, 2009 July 5, 2009 Looking good! Your right - keeping the wife happy is where its at!!!

MKNTRAXX July 7, 2009 July 7, 2009 Looks better in person people.... Worth the trip :-P Looks great Lynn and thanks for the help today.
lhcorals July 7, 2009 Author July 7, 2009 Not a problem. Glad i could help. Thanks for the Zoo's, and the compliments.
Nate July 7, 2009 July 7, 2009 Looks pretty cool. I would love to build something similar sometime. I like how you used the coralline colored reef epoxy to cover up the pvc. I have seen other people's rock work where they leave all materials exposed including zip ties...it just looks so fake.
Sugar Magnolia July 7, 2009 July 7, 2009 Looks better in person people.... Worth the trip :-P Yes, it does! I really like that new column Lynn. What are your plans for coral placement on it?
