So I pilfered some rock from other various tanks. It consist of mostly softball sized roundish rock. a few larger and ones. Then one giant shelf rock. Like 30"x 20"

Any input on how to scape?

Pull them out... drill and put rods... epoxy...

One tower with the shelf on top, sand the rest of the way...

That mount bracket that's in the water... is it metal? That mount may work for my nano... I have a Kessil mount but hesitant to use it as part would be in the water all the time and I don't like that idea.

What's the coverage on the Halo's?

What's the coverage on the Halo's?

Each unit will come with two interchangeable lenses. 80 and 110 degrees. It will do a 30 inch by 30 inch area easily. Twice as strong as those other lights that are popular. There are two versions. The master unit ( the one on the left) will retail for $349 and the slave unit ( on the right) will retail for $249. The mounting arms come in two sizes, 18 and 24 inches. Pricing is not yet set on them bit I believe somewhere around $50 or so.
