    Thanks bro! I love that rock work and i never like my scaping. lol I cant wait for it to color up, so it doesnt look like a pile of rocks, and it will all blend together.

    I would have never had something like this in my 20, so having a scape this high is awesome. There really are a ton of nooks and crannys to be enjoyed by my future inhabitants ;D theres 11 rocks there, roughly about 40 lbs i would say. I want to make the right side a larger island when i add rocks, but well see what the shapes of those will let me do. by no means am i done adding in there.

    its def not a hydroid. only cuz all the rock in there is base rock, even the "live" rock i have it was base in my 20,.. and i know i didnt have any in my 20. It is like a web i guess. but its very flimsy ive seen strands get blown off with ease. And those look like snot in the water. tubes of snot worms lol.

    I get the same kinda thing in my biocube(also dry rock). Hmmm. It kinda hangs off of corals sometimes and gets blown around.
