I drilled the rock with a hole saw and secured it on a 1/2" PVC frame. There are a couple spots where I also secured rock to the PVC frame with cable ties (zap straps) in addition to running the PVC through the drilled holes.

How many pieces did you attach together? Using 1/2" pvc + holesaw is an excellent method

I believe there are 6 pieces of LR there.

Here's some quick pics I just took of my 210g mixed reef after some minor reaquascaping. (Par of my avoid work strategy) Enjoy!







Thanks for looking.

Anthony

Very nice Anthony. One of these days I've got to get down to see the Yellow Tangtropolis in person.

Default Then & Now
Thought I would post a couple of pictures of the before and after. It looks good for only being up and running for 4 months.

Jan. 1, 2010 - New Tank with water & Rock only:



April 18, 2010 - Fully stocked:




I went from a 30 gallon reef tank that I had for 3 years to this 90 gallon setup at the beginning of this year. I thought it would take me for ever to stock a 90 gallon but now I wish I would have gone bigger as I am running out of room.

That's a pretty drastic change for only 4 months. Some of those large softy colonies would suggest a tank thats a couple of years old already. Nicely done!

Here is my 29G mini reef. Its not the cleanest in this picture, but I don't believe in being 100% clinical about it... I am about to upgrade to a 52G so I figure I better get this shot in



Just finished the move to the 52 Gallon:
