nice work. cant believe you did that all yourself that is alot of work. i like the idea of your tank being offset in your stand and having all that space beside it.
SHARK BAIT OH HA HA. i love that movie its one of my favourites. maybe you could get a few close ups up your tank dwellers.

Thanks Pastout' The pvc structure I made was a basturdized version of Superfudge's 1000 gal project. I made a base using 1/2 inch pipe and t's then created the arch shape I wanted. I drilled holes in the pvc and the rocks and then fastened the rock to the pvc with zap straps. It's a bit time consuming but well worth the effort in the end. I still have room for more rocks which lends to coral placement. In the past I have even created pvc structures that hang on the tank and allow you to place rock near the surface without fear of them collapsing.
