 I made it for him at our September club meeting. It was my first attempt at DIY rock.

Looks good but be careful. Wetwebmedia says that it can effect your PH for 6 months after it is made.

That looks nice, Finally a pic of your efforts to make live rock. It won't take long to color up. Like Mike said, watch your PH

Also, I would be careful counting your actinics towards the total "useful" wattage. Your HQI really provide enough of the blue spectrum. In fact people like Bob Fenner and Anthony Calfo say the actinics are for the "eye of the beholder".

I understand why you and others say that. I agree for the most part about counting actinics toward total wattage. But I also believe that corals benefit from actinics.

Thanks Dacro. It's going to look amazing when it colours up and thids and things grow all over it. The other pieces I made were just shelf slabs, not as nice to look at, but will be useful in my tank I hope. Going to be tough reaquascaping though. I think I probably just put them in the 55g to colour up first, since the 55g is more of a coraline factory.
