    Tell me what you guys think? Before when i set it up all the tanks i ever saw were boring old walls, so I did some searching and decided i like the islands, turned out three looked ok instead of the two islands I planed roughly in my head. Too late to epoxy and rod my reef but I think its a big upgrade. Anything you guys would change?

    I think it looks much better with the 2 islands.The only thing i'd move would be the frag rack on the front glass,it takes away from the full veiw of the reef itself.

    hahaha, yeah bud it moves around, i just have it there because i moved another frag over from the right and didn't put it back. Also it ended up being 3 islands because the piece on the far left is huge and self standing. Thanks for the feedback!!!!

    Looks real nice, good job on it! I know re-scaping is tough sometimes and never comes out perfect in our own eyes.

    The islands should give you some cool looks and spots for corals.

    I like the Island look as well. Looks great! Rock work is great and I always seem to want to change stuff up before too long until it has been tweaked just right.

    Thanks guys! I was browsing some threads on another forum and wished I had gotten all the base rock and epoxied it from the start. I just think back to all my scuba encounters and how the reef looked and though, dang this isn't right.

    I like this look alot better, more flow and found a couple lost frags.
