….The amount of time on this…!!!! FINALLY done! I was determined to get that slight helix . After a lot of trial and error, breaks, and hard lessons learned, I’m happy I got this sucker done. Good thing I’m stubborn.

Looks great, well done. I have been tempted to try a helix type shape, but get scared. Very cool.

The Halo tank, love it
Wonder if you can encrust the Halo will depend on the lighting

That’s the plan! With some plating and branching corals sprinkled in course.

What's your encruster of choice? I can't wait to see it start to get filled up with coral!

I don't remember if you had started a build thread and/or if you had described what you plan is for the tank. So....what's the plan?

This is a perfect bunny trail/distraction for me to delve into I need to check if I made an actual thread… I think I did? Stay tuned for my plan/play by play either way! As far as encruster favorite….. not so much for this design, but in general, I really like the contrasting colors of Spitfire lepto and for contrast on the other side of the tank/area something akin to Mr freeze with that deep blue. By themselves, I’m also a fan of montiporas.

Super cool! One day I’ll be good at rock work

UPDATE: As you can see the left side did not work out - When one door closes, on opens as they say. I will now use the space for some branching coral.
Top taken during night, so things are starting to close up, little daytime preview in second photo.

Also, to everyone who I told I had full confidence in monitoring and dosing myself - I'm over it! I'm keeping my eyes out for an affordable dosing set up. I don't want to math anymore.

Natural evolution of the reef structure, love it!

Really cool starting aquascape, was it too heavy and caused a fall or?

It broke when I when I was trying to adjust the structure during cycling. Thankfully nothing was in the tank.
