I thought about doing the entire back wall with the foam,but I think I'll just try some of the formations mixed with the rock from my 150,and keep the back wall open for circulation,I want to create some caves and some low light areas for a few of my gorgonians that are in my sea horse tank,and I'd like to have my rock above my sand,so I may try to build some PVC stands for my rock and kinda hide it with the foam.....I really don't know yet....so many great ideas so little money

Matt here's a pic of basiles work

this is what I'd like to do to my tank,with a few deep caves and low light areas

Basiles tank looks amazing, and didnt actually cost a whole lot, it was actually cheaper to do that then just use all rock i believe. I would ask him but for the next few weeks he will be MIA.

yep,it is gonna be a beautiful reef......it was a fraction of the cost of all rock

yeah,he posted all the info about it,not only his rock work,but his detailed build thread is excellent,any one interested in building the foam rock should read basiles entire thread,its very educational

Guy would have made a great scientist, he records everything he does in great detail

that he does,but that make it easier to copy his work,which was his intent

he's only been gone 2 days and I already miss him

I finally broke down and ordered my closed loop pump,here's what I ordered see what you'll think about the gph I should be able to ditch all my powerheads and have a nice clean look inside the tank

Reeflo Hammerhead - 5800 gph [16-RLO-HAMM] - $344.99 : Captivating Marine Fish Corals Zoanthids Anemones Invertebrates, Captivating Marine

Jeremy,the new place that you posted in your build....they have a good selection of pumps.....I ordered 1

You bet! someone's gotta keep track of ya, through are spy satelite lol. I miss you all and the fun discussion. It seems i could be gone for longer, they say 3 months. And another thing ; before i left , i noticed that my air conditioner is broken. My buddy is looking for a repair guy to fix it. Can't loose it all to hot weather ; that would be tragic. My horse tank and the biocube after a year, all that work. Hope its fixable. If not disaster

hope they can get it fixed,that would be bad to loose any of it,after working so hard to keep it alive,2 winters ago I lost most of my livestock to an 18hr power outage....and I still don't have a generator
