There is sand down there and a lot of hermits live in there.

I need to get more of a cleanup crew. Some detrius but nothing the current crabs can't handle.

Also picked up a sea cucumber.

Nitrates and Ammonia are zero.

The whole thing looks really neat. Love the crevasse, that really gives it a pop.

I'd love to see a drop off tank one day where the rockwork actually ramps up closer to the surface and then plop a wavebox down at the deep side just to see what the wave would look like.

Oh so the waves crash on to the rocks?

+1 That would be awesome to see waves crashing onto the rocks!
Maybe an MP40 or MP60 might do the trick, unless you can hide a wavebox within the rockwork on the opposite side.
