Well that's not a huge help
 I do wonder what the marble will look like when life takes over. Will it be ugly algae covered and slimy... I am wondering what divider to use since I do not want it to be too man made looking. The background will have a lot of live rock in front of it, so I am hoping the water and rocks will obstruct the joins. With the divider, it will be mostly obstructed as well, but I would not mind if some of it was showing, however, is natural looking or manmade better? These are things I don't want to discover when it is all together. I know it is different form anything else I have seen, which is awesome for originality, but sucks for taking a risk of being different. It scares me that we have to fill it with 260 gallons of water, the rocks and corals, to see what it will be. The way it is already going, I will be hoping for a Christmas completion, but we still have to figure out what pumps we need to pump the water to the sump that will be in the basement, how to set up the reverse osmosis, and the million other things that must be done. I just keep repeating " A journy of a thousand miles begins with one step". Quote:

I can bring you a bunch of 1"x1" squares of travertine when I pick up food. I will give them to you in trade for knowledge and perhaps a lesson in how to glue frags to them in the first place. I will set some aside from the project, so they are not gobbled up by this project. I am wanting broken marble for the retaining walls, but I think my hubby is going for the manicured look. I am building all my broken stuff now, just to prove him wrong...
Hubby and I have been together so long, but this tank has us bickering just like the first two years we were together... Quote:
