Getting ready to setup my new Waterbox 25 Mini Peninsula so spent the weekend trying my hand at a NSA style aquascape and trying to make it look good on 3 sides. Used Gluemasters thin CA glue like Tidal Gardens and BRS did. Tried the CaribSea Super Naturals Aquarium Sand but that was too fine and switched to CaribSea Aragonite Aquarium Sand which worked much better. Then followed up using emarco 400 mortar around the main joints. I have extra CA glue and at least half of the emarco400 leftover that I will put up for sale on the dry goods forum.

Looks good chief. Great job with that
 
After I put it in the tank it looked like it needed a little more so I added a little more rock. Spent the day 3d printing some parts and finished putting together the screen top with a feeding port. Just moved a few test corals over, along with a couple snails and a small goby.

Finished moving most of my livestock over to the new tank. Pain in the butt chasing down the fish and trying to get the two rock flowers off their old rock. Also, couldn't see spending ~$80 on a mount for my AI 26HD light. Also wasn't fond of most mounts clamping to the glass, so I made my own for under $10, just a 3/4" EMT electrical conduit bent at 90deg (bent it at the store with the tool so didn't need to buy expensive tool), and two conduit clamps and some black spray paint. Super easy and quick and the clamp and pin on the back of my stand lets me rotate the pole 90 deg so the light isn't over the tank when cleaning.
