This thread is worse than Ty's tank build thread!:lol::P

 

You could use some pvc piping and live rock to create the cliff, and utilize that dead space underneath as a crypic zone.  Steve Tyree did a speech on it at C4, seemed very interesting and he had a lot of good research on a crypic zone's benefits.

The Vivid Aquariums 800g incorporated PVC and an acrylic shelf to create a similar effect. It looks pretty good, but would only work if you had an acrylic aquarium.

And acrylic tanks are the worst. :sick:

MARRIED?! Did your parents approve that? Did you check your spouse for AEFW? :poke:

Why hasn't the emoticon pack been updated since I've been gone? 

And who is this guy hijacking this thread?

And here I thought Mark was coming back to say we set up 440g Drop Off Tank.....

Look James, my current tank has been up for 1.5yrs. That's a record for me in the past 5 years! Back off! :-p

Yup, that's the same stuff. It's also the same stuff that a lot of commercial and large public aquariums use for "rockwork" in their tanks. http://www.polygem.com (As always, not affiliated in any way, your mileage may vary, yada yada yada.)

So what's the advantage to using the Polygem vs dry live rock?  Is it the weight or versatility?
