Reef Ceramics Preview

Well I gotta thank Ger fro sending me these pics today of my reef ceramics rock. We are still waiting on a low outcropping to come in and I am getting tired down in the basement working everyday

So I needed some inspiration and he gave it to me! The arrangement is very close to what I am going to do (Gary you have a good eye) with these pieces. This stuff came out right on time too!! I have always wanted to do a back wall covered in corals that would look more real to life and this is the ticket!

The aquascape will be lower to allow for head room for fish to swim and stags to grow. Also it will not mask the back wall. I want to do some tables on the back wall and pillars nearer the bottom and on the island as well. I am excited again!!

Wiring the recessed lights is slow and tedious for me. I am such a perfectionist that I take a while to do them. I want to know they are right.

I have 9 more to go out of 16 and will concentrate on that after tommorows soccer game (little girl plays).

so here are some pics and a special thanks to Gary!

That looks great. I was pretty well sold on doing a couple of islands in my next tank but those back walls look cool. What do the outcroppings look like?
What size tank are these going in?
Take Care,
Chad

Holy chit thats sweet man! I love that stuff! How much room will it take away from the inside of the tank by using it?

[moonpod]

Tasty dude

[skippyreef]

not to much. Actually it will add usable space! I will be able to utilize the side wall and the back wall for tables and other sweet acropora!!

Like I have said before "The Gernman's make sweet stuff"!!!

Man, I might have to get some custom mad to go on my back around my lcosed loop and over flows...sheesh I'm jealous!

they make overflow covers as well. I'm not sure of the exact sizes but it could be cut down if needed.

[moonpod]

Madison did you mail me my pillars? Anyways I'm thinking now about pieces for my back walls and overflows now....

[OUinLA]

Chuck, did you not get an email from UPS with tracking info for the pillars? I'll check right now.

[OUinLA]

Chuck, it says it was left on your front door on Thurs at 2:50 pm. I'm pm'ing you the tracking number.

they make overflow covers as well. I'm not sure of the exact sizes but it could be cut down if needed.

Oh yeah? I am not sure exactly what my overflow size will be though, so I may have to get it custom made.

[skippyreef]

They will custom make things. I might have something made for my overflow which is not square but more of an octagon (but three sides of it).

hate to sound dumb here, but after looking at your tank how is that going to work with your overflow? i mean wont the middle piece in the back stick out because of the overflow?
