here are some more pic's, tank is still cloudy. i'm still about a week out on filling the rest of the tanks. sump and skimmer is next in line to fill then QT, fuge and last fuge.
this is not the final setting and few pc's around will be moved around but time will tell.

total of 7 caves, these rocks are truly amazing with ton of shapes, sizes, character and less density than many other.

Gorgeous rock dude...

Having a supportive wife is a great advantage to those of us cursed with this passion.

You are making a lifetime investment, so well worth whatever you are putting into it.

Hope you are never planning on moving.

Thanks again for the pics and sharing!

thanks, this is poor investment and will never get even half of the money and time spent on putting this entire system together which took roughly 3 months. the only investment i intend on getting back is the fun i have putting everything together and watching all my livestock mature. thanks again

no plans on moving just yet, since i been at my new home only 8 months now.

Rockwork looks awsome! I can't wait to see it all together! Omard...I've gotten to be an expert at moving, though only with a 55gal. I've moved so many times, lastly(May 31, 2006) being Kissimmee, FL to here in Louisville, GA. It's an 8 hour drive! Only lost my beloved CrabbieI. Had been in my tank since the beginning and he was quite the character! CrabbieII doesn't have much of a personality, but he does his job well. GAWD...I'm pathetic.......
