Thanks Bev,
The rock work was definitely the hardest, I changed it again this morning.
One thing I have noticed already, with the two Maxi Jets in the back corner pointing to the front on an angle, I have a nice pile pretty much center/front and a lot of suspended particulate in the water column. I now have my return line rippling the surface down the back of my tank with another powerhead completing the rotation down the front of the tank to the overflow. I can actually watch the flow as it deposits debris down the pipe into the sump.
I will be purchasing a better syphoning tool though this week. THe one I have now has a small diameter and does not like to pick up heavies.

Any tips on a good syphon tool? If I get one large enough the tank will empty before I get all the heavies out
