    ok i dug up a pic of the pvc structure, this is all i got for you till the mom gets back ;D As you can see the arc, under that is going to be some type of "reef volcano" or "reef mountain" if you will. If i go with the volcano, im going to put an air stone in the actual structure and leave a 1" hole at the top of the structure and have it on a random security timer so it "erupts" randomly. The structure may look small but its not, its going in a 22 gallon. I measured it and the dimensions are perfect. Its lookin good! Please give me some feedback critics!

    Im tryin to satisfy you guys, ill just go on with the improvements i made. I (believe it or not) got away with cutting acrylic with a hack saw. I cut my CPR filter sock holder (that part that holds it to the tank) so i had more room in there. Its now drilled to the back of the stand and above the sump a tiny bit. It looks cool and professional. Next, i used the cut off and bent piece of acrylic (ended up working perfectly) and drilled holes in it to hold syringes for auto dosing. It looks really cool, i also drilled that to the side of the tank, but that already had holes for that on the side of it. Cant wait for this puppy to finish cycling! anyone any comments?

    heres a picture showing you where i cut.

    MP10 comes today, any second now! I only hate ups because it takes a while for the package to get to my house, as opposed to fedex, fexex comes at around 830 - 900 am. Well im here waiting, ill post plenty of pics and maybe some vids, my equipment list is fulfilled! If you were wondering, school was cancelled today due to a power outage at the school! and i had 2 tests i was going to try to avoid today! yay!

    well the mp10 has yet to arrive... of coarse. And im leaving now so by the time i get back it should be here. The bad this is they always drop it on my door step, rain, snow, or shine and im worried about it getting too wet because i wont be home for a while. And no, theres no other alternative places to put it so i guess i just hope for the best.

    ok the sculpture is in the tank, just finished placing some extra rock just to touch it up. These rocks will probably be replaced with liverock once i get to the lfs. It looks so cool, and since i got my mp10, the reef volcano was scraped. The bubbles looked stupid, especially because the mp10 changes flow rates automatically every like 5 seconds so it just didnt look good. I am very satisfied with this. I will post pics as soon as the tank clears.
