I went to the local "dealer" (actually a private dealer - more like a near end point entrepreneur) and I was enthused. Good deals and he is willing to deal. So we ended up chatting as you can expect and I walked into a free 50 gallons of water (from his water change - already cycled) and his live rock is to die for. Not great colonies but he has some rock that is already purpled up and has polyps on it. What I consider to be reasonable prices. Further talking got me a great deal on a light fixture and I found out he sells the powerhead I want for nearly $20 less. Needless to say he will get more of my business.
So I got a couple pounds (if that) of rock rubble and some dead coral skeletons and came home to build my foam wall. It took me four cans of pond foam but I have a definately 3D version of a back wall. From my quick calculations there are some places on this wall that are going to fill in 7 inches of the 11 inch wide space. Going to be interesting when I have to readjust my rock to fit the wall.
Here are some pictures. They are not much to see given the blackness but if you check them out you can see some of the PVC tunnesl and caves and the coral skeletons and rock embedded in the foam.
