Very nice! Have you considered macrorock cement to attach the rock and loose the zips?

Too late I think Ivan has a bunch of corals in it already. He's got a thread with more progress over on RC.

Maybe the corals are covering the zips anyways... It would just bug me so much if i could see zipties! The setup is so nice!

Thank you

I done this type of rock work before and trust me after I move all my corals in you will not notice the zips

Plus it's just as a safety precaution, this rock it's about 100ponds and if it breaks we will have a bigger problem than just zips!
I had use the cement before and the epoxy and I had some problems with the extra weight so I did the epoxy and zips and rods between the rocks just to make sure that it doesn't break
