    Basically, just plumbing/mounting everything. So a big Lowe's trip. All the plumbing supplies, and some hardware to mount the pumps.

    Well, I started laying the rock. I am thinking either double or triple islands.

    I will say this:

    MY GOD IS THERE SO MUCH ROOM FOR CORALS!!!!

    woah now, slow it down, you know you cant add water till this thread reaches ATLEAST 75 pages :p. i was thinking triple islands for mine, are you going to drill and add in a pvc backbone like so many others i've been seeing lately?

    I'm done. Ended up with dual islands. Told y'all I was a master at setting up/tearing down rockwork.

    But no, I will not be securing it. Knowing me I will most likely want to change things a little bit down the road. I don't like the idea of the 'scape being "permanent".
