Sweet Colin. Like I said prob one of the best looking tanks for aquascaping I have seen, love the arches. Did the same (pvc substructure) in my tank and am REALLY happy with the way it turned out. Took the better part of a weekend but it was worth the farting around. How long did you spend doing yours?

well i planned it out on paper for about a week and then when i got down to it, i threw out the drawings and went with the idea in my head. it take maybe 2 or 3 full days i cant remember exactly. the wife loved it though

Colin, do you have pictures of your PVC structures before the rock? The wife is starting to put stuff in the tank and if I dont get them built soon she is going to have piles of rocks for me to work around.

i do scott but i actually left all the rock in the tank too but when i built the structures, i laid a tarp out on the floor on top of towels to protect the floor and would build the structur outside the tank in sections and would install them after. if that makes sense

get a pvc cutter before you start i didnt know they existed until after i cut everything with a hacksaw

Wow Colin, the tank looks fantastic and I love the rockwork on the LHS. Makes me want to try that on my next tank.

So are the sound effects in the video your lens ricocheting off the glass?
