Hopefully that little frag of yellow birdsnest will become a new focal point of the tank.

I took your advice btw for this next round of pics...whatcha think?

So after picking through the lr at the store(and there is probably 400-500#s there) I finally held up a piece and went...."this might work".... got it home and.... it fit like a glove

. I knew I wanted to fill the area in a bit, so that I could glue in some recent frag additions. The thing is, I have a K2 powerhead stashed behind the rock work, pointing towards the front right corner of the tank that I wanted to keep. Also there is a zoanthid colony growing on the main pile of rock, right where it would be best to add rock. So simply pililng on a couple more chunks was something I wanted to avoid. So heres what the new scape looks like. The new piece "bridges" from the main pile to the overhang. This way I avoided the zoas, didnt have to move the powerhead and made another pass through for the fish......I think Im happy with it.

I just love that last shot. Down the end always makes a nice reef look like an actual reef! So jealous of you people with water in your fishtanks lol.
