Looks great, nice work :)

Do you always have microbubbles in the display? Just curious as I do sometimes when the water level runs down.

I used too but it depends on whats going on in the sump, i found that cleaning my filter sock certain ways cases the skimmer to bubble up and it then brings micro bubbles up to the tank. I simply gerni my socks now and eliminate that issue.

Thank you! Thats a real compliment. I simply had a few goes at doing it and i guess it turned out good. You know what its like... you stack them and stand back but you never really see the potential because its so hard to invisage all the possible combinations and positions. I wanted caves and arches, being a three foot tank i still wanted pillars so i created two which leans back and bridge accross. Of all the scapes i've had this one i'm the happiest with.

The photos are great but don't do this tank justice . . It looks brilliant in person.
