No Leah it's away from the wall about 6-8 inches. Leave room for me to get my arm back there for scraping the glass and such (and hide the ladder!).

Josh, you and Brett and everyone else have less patience than me!!!!!!!:lol: Just waiting for salinity to even out. Had it abit high. Hope to get some rock in tonight. Hang tough!:wink:

The temptation is always to rush.

Take your time, enjoy yourself and do it right.

It is exciting though.

I am living vicariously through a few builds until my tank shows up... then you will all be telling me to hurry up!! :wink:

So rock is in(or some of it anyways)!!! And we have light!
Put on the MH fixture to try out. (And moved the cords out of the way for you Kien!

I have waaaayyyyy too much rock! I sifted through the 2 rubbermaid bins and pulled out some larger pieces to try some aquascaping. I still have a rubbermaid 3/4 full and 100lb of live rock in my 72 gallon!!

Attempted to shape it abit just to get some ideas and fought with it for 2 hours. Leaving it alone for now until I can pick up a few more key pieces from the 72Gallon. Really want to keep it a little more open which I have already determined may be challenging!

LIGHTS!

You could seriously do a ton with just the piles you have now. Unless a person is obsessed with making a million little caves and arches (that fish never seem to use when you're watching) then that layout would work great!

I'm very impatient. My build took a long time but EVERY step of the way when I either had money or finally took something into my possession...well I would work on integrating/finishing that part of the build without pause! I'm sure most of my build took place after midnight.

That stand looks nice. I think you need some blue leds recessed way in the back so the glass panels glow a bit!
