REALLY cool looking...

All that branch certainly gives your rock structure an interesting/different look, doesn't it??

It reminds me of a few carribean reefs I snorkled over. The smaller island looks like a structure I saw off of Baby Beach in Aruba and the larger one on the gols coast of Barbados. When my wife and I were doing this on the floor in front of the tank it came out looking like those structures. The aruba ISland was loaded with atalantic tangs too.

The other good thing is it will be pretty easy to hang table tops off of these branches. My four cleaner shrimp love to suspend under them too.

Hehe yeah we'll do anythign to make acropora happy

I like the rockwork there Mrok. May i ask how much a pound for that stuff delivered to your house? I might want to add a little bit of variety in my tanks, currently only on Fiji Premiums.

Mike,

How stable is the structure? It does look very interesting and I remember looking at the Acropora thickets when I was snorkeling off of Isl. of Nevis. Water was so clear and reef was only about 50-60 feet deep and you could see everything as clear as day. The structure reminds me of that day

Its super stable. It also has a small foot print.

I got it through my distributor so I cannot quote a price unfortunatly. There is areound 100-120 pounds of premium redbranch in the tank though.

I am glad people like it. I got tired of the same thing with the Fiji and wanted to try something new and fun looking.

I actually have about 30 lbs on hold at the LFS that I get most of stuff from so I get a discount. Will be using some in my new 20 gall that I am transfering some of my coral over to and the rest in my FOWLR tank and will be getting more when I get a bigger swim tank. I really like the stuff plus the fish will be in it or behind it and think they are hidden but you can still see them pretty well.
It is also easy to use zip ties to tie pieces together to make some very cool formations.

We zip tied some of this together in sections prior to settint it in the tank. It is great to work with it.
