Wow I really like it? Now I’m rethinking my scape. Nothing is glued by me and the tank is still dry.
We are in the same boat .. some of the rock is the Caribsea w/ the pin in it most is put together w/ mortar . some can come out w/ the pin. either way I liked the natural shape of that morroca .. did you get it when PA had it on sale ?

That looks awesome!!!!
That is super cool getting the compliment from you guys. I bought the branch from you and also try to support you when I can. I had a reefer friend from years ago that turned me on to you guys.

@Reign1 Your scape looks awesome, some really cool places to put corals!
I would personally let the top branch be a future coral growing to the top, you're going to be limited in what corals you can place there. Good luck with your aquarium! :) Screenshot_20230920_083229_Samsung Internet.jpg
Thanks yeah I dont know if I will truly be using that top piece. It is actually mortared with a rod and can easily be removed. it is a little too high. I may just use a smaller piece and put mortar the rod on it.
This is a 30" tall tank too

Looking to add one or two small corner pieces on top, what y’all think? One where the purple gorgonian is, and another mirroring on left side?

This is how mine ended up. I had to take out what I did to cycle the rock. I put it back in, took like 10 min tops. nothing glued or cemented. I have never really done that out of laziness....

Adam - Can you show how you attached the light bar in the back? Also - what size extrusion did you use and do you think it is strong enough? thanks, Steve

I used a bracket and drilled it into my stand. I started with one side only and it was sagging. I ended up having to order again and then made it two pieces one on each side and they are both drilled to my stand. I used the 15 series from 80/20. Those brackets were the most expensive part of the light rack.
