I'm not parting out this time!

Here's a few more shots I took before applying epoxy and lifting the structure into the tank.

Big thanks to Kien for supplying the acrylic rods and direction!

I see you also enjoy converting living spaces into tank construction zones and well as ruining perfectly good pliers. Nice work on the rock tree thing, do you have a plan to prevent yourself from knocking it over once it's full of nice sps growth?

Yeah those have been my reefing pliers for a few years now lol. and the construction zone worked pretty well. i could sweep water back into the circulating rock bin as it fell on the operating table and re-submerge pieces once they were drilled.

The top overhang is drilling and there are tripled-up zip ties connecting it to the glass anchors i attached to the underside of the overflow box. The structure is very stable actually.

despite my best efforts to clean and dry the tools that I used for my rock work they all ended up in the garbage anyway. All rusted and beat up.

Great top down shot. It's hard to really get a sense for depth and aspect with structures like these in 2D images.

Thanks. yeah before i use these pliers or my old wire cutters which are now reef zip tie cutters i open/close them for a few minutes under running water then paper towel them to minimize rusty juices lol. both were good quality to begin with and still work well enough after 6+ years of sorta mostly reefing.

Looking good!

I do the same thing with my tools .. it's sort of the ritual for using them "one more time."

Rockwork looks good!

Thing I never mentioned though is I don't have a good pair of pliers or wire cutters. They're still my everyday ones as well lol. So far so good though you do need to hit the sweet spot with those cutters or it's no dice.
