Wow nice build and those Kesil lights rock

 

[Ferret]

Thank you! Yeah there are better lights out than the kessils but I am addicted to the shimmer haha

Diatoms nearly gone. One more week then I plan on stocking corals.

Also just busy with one more small pillar for the back of the tank..

 

[Ferret]

Okay so the a nice scaping was before. I added a small 3rd pillar to the back of the tank to try and create a deeper look to the tank.

Still undecided if I like it or not so I welcome opinions.

 

[Jones]

Doesn't look bad at all. IMHO making it slightly higher than the front might give a better perception of depth.
Hard to tell though, it might not.

I think it is a good start. Always good to leave space for corals to fill, most of the nicest sps tanks I’ve seen had very little rock, and just massive coral colonies.

 

[Ferret]

@hotdog83 yeah that's what is bugging me haha. I prefer the less rock work and let the sps take up tank space.

If that 3rd column stays I plan on having a purple milka on the top of it. And I add an encrusting monti to the bottom plate of that pillar. At the base of it on the sand right in the centre of the tank I plan on adding a small clam.

But decision is still out on the added rock lol
