    That looks awesome. I will be watching to see it finished! I really like that idea.

    Heya Folks,

    After sitting on the finished foam wall all week and thinking about the next steps, I have a few concerns that I am hoping you can help me work through. First, I am concerned about the loss of water volume in the tank as the wall will displace a fair amount. I will post more pics with top down shots. Second, I don't think I will be able to build the final wall outside the tank. I decided that I don't want to cut the braces. Even with cutting the wall into 3 pieces, I don't think they will fit through the middle top with all the concrete and coral rock attached as a finished product. This means curing the concrete inside the tank. Do you guys think this will be a problem with leaching or anything if I go through the water change process to balance pH?

    Thank you.

    Marshall

    Not sure if you addressed this earlier or not but how do you intend to keep the foam from floating out of place?
