Borrowed one of jdigitals camera's. finally got the water all in and busted up my rock to make something i was happy with. But i still need more for the center. One issue i have had in previous tanks is buying to much rock and down the road when buying new coral that comes on larger rock I just couldn't make it fit, so this time i am tryingto avoid that. Now just waiting on the sand which should be in on wednesday.

also included a picture of the wire nightmare i have going which i need to organize lol

If you must have the powerbar, see if you can mount it upside-down under your stand so that any water that happens to be running down a powercord doesn't drip straight down into the powerbar. It is the simplist things that can sometimes save your bacon.

thanks for the input. I have the next couple days off work so i am going to be dealing with cleaning up the wires. I hate messy wires but this was just to get everything all running for now. I plan on building a stand beside the tank that will house all the wiring with the power bars and the auto top up once i can get my paws on one. everything will be done once my cycle is complete. than in the spring i still need to skin my stand.

I actually haven't plugged it in for longer than 10 seconds yet doug. I am sure it will be able to pull some stuff right now but it will be running once i get the sand in. I want a filter sock over my drain before i start it up.

Picked up some more rock today. The aqua scaping looks so much better now.

Also here a few pictures of some of the stuff going into my tank that i have in the nightmare 10gal. The zoa's i keep seeing around town, i don't know if it was my lighting but both fixtures brought out the purple/blue in them. Yet the ones i see look brown. Also the birdsnest that i am so suprised that it is alive and growning. It has tripled in size since i bought it, sadly it turned brown but fingers crossed that the color will come back. Than we have the infamous yuma. I love this thing, one of the 2 i kept from my 20nano (the other is a superman yuma).
