wtf another rock slide

Looks good jay. My only advice is to make sure your rock isn't too vertical. It will shade itself and make large area that cannot grow coral. I learned this the hard way and I still have a few dark spots. It only gets worse as colonies grow out. I'm particularly looking at that big shaded spot on the front of your left tower. You could always fill it in later with rock. That's what I just ended up doing to my scape.

Thanks gunner. That area is a bit more shaded in pic than it really is. Needless to say it's shadded. There is still lots of space to add new areas if need be.

Skimmer is going ape shit now. Have it opened all the way now and still overflowing. Any ideas

The skimmer is going nuts because of the epoxy. It will stop in a day or so. Just skim it wet and empty or raise the skimmer for a day or so. It will stop.
 
Finally got things back up. Coral is in place. Need new par readings. Wink wink...got to see what's happy n Wats not.
 
Skimmer back to normal? Chad is right on the skimmer, I used to just turn my off for a few days when I made changes that would affect it. then turn it back on and sorry tune it back to run real dry, the way I like it.
