Wow, interesting idea on the pump. Would that be in the water out would it just be Pex lines coiled inside?

Watts Recirculating Pump So here is the design I'm thinking: Since I'm going to put saltwater through it I had to go with Titanium for exactly those reasons.

Next up on my immediate list is figuring on my aquascape. Since my tank is so tall I'm going to need some very high structures but I want to keep them very long and narrow. Something like below but having it raised up about 12 inches.
Or Anyone have any experience making something like this? I'm thinking of smashing up some dry rock, using PVC or Acrylic rods then using Marco mortar to stick it all together?

reference tank
I recall the tidal garden guy having some youtube reference to a "guy in asia doing a floating aquascape"( don't remember which youtube of his but had some link ) but you can see this show tank he is working on in eps 1.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_3zTB6Fllg . His tank is similar to your except deeper. You can always ask him a question as he is quite receptive..he was on reefdudes not long ago. |

Very nice. To bad there isn't a place in Canada that does this. I noticed on BRSTV the host got his rock done down in Florida, but I can only imagine the cost to ship and the border nightmare that would be.

You can also glue rocks together using white pure portland cement. The downside is that you have to add at least 2 months to the curing time or the tank's water ph will climb out of control. The plus side is the cement is more chemically natural and cheaper than glue, and will house good bacteria.
