    so about 4 weeks ago i started a thread about a pvc stand i was making for my live rock. Well i now have it in my new tank, a red sea max 250 i know its the weak way out but i just didnt have the room and the time for my goliath tank that i use to have in my new 2 bedroom apartment :D any way it worked a treat there is a good half inch at least of clearance under the rocks and plenty of shelving for the coral that i intend to put in. Heres 2 pics please tell me what you think i could always make it smaller or build a second one have two little ones or something..... oh and i added a ecotech pump its awesome do reccomend to n e one ill add photos of the fish and stuff tommorow..

    if you want closer photos tell me ill get photos from the side and stuff with my good camera if you want. so you know there is only about 3 rocks touching the sand and there is 2 levels which are pretty much hollow for my fishies to sleep in lol

    Aw man, that's good. The only suggestion I would make would be to cap off the ends to prevent worms and/or other pests from taking refuge in them.
