Well if look closely you can see acrylic rods. They are 1/2". Just drilled through the rocks and piled em up. I feel comfortable with the stability. I dont expect it to fall over anytime soon.

nice work! how is your acrylic rods done at the base? just stuck into the bottom rock? or did you make a H type of support?

The rods are just but into the bottom rock. I kind of wish Id done a base, but this seems to be working quite well.

I agree. It looks great. Can't wait to see some corals on it.

Default switches?
I am in the process of building a similar setup. Can you explain how your rocker switches are setup (ie. wiring, enclosures and the like.)?
