Tank Update...
Well I finally put my last piece of rock in the tank this weekend, took a step back and WOW, what a feeling. I immediately was feeling the first phase of accomplishment and pure elation at the way it looked. I will post some pictures this evening when I get off work! I just had to share...

Here are a few of the pictures that I promised...
One from the top that shows the depth and the euro bracing and the other is a front view.

One of the left side, middle, and right side...
there are caverns and arch ways all over the place in the rock work... I specifically had Travis order large pieces of rock only, they range from 20-55 pounds per piece. Basically I am striving for the poor man's Steve Weast tank... lol...
You can see how much color my blue milli has lost in the transition, that is the large coral on the left side... aka large brown piece of crap, for the moment anyway. It is really hard to get a good picture of the depth of the tank... the pictures don't do it justice! I will keep everyone updated as I go.

Looks great, I really like the aquascaping. You may have said it in another thread, but could you please tell me more about your set up? It look fabulous, by the way

sweeet...
love it....almost a cube but not quite. Perfect for that spot. woulda done it the same way myself....man i can't stop drooling over the tongue/groove rockwork...very natural, and presents a really striking illusion of depth.

Looks great - I've always thought 48x36 would be a sweeeeet tank footprint.
