Looks great. One problem I foresee is playing XBOX with your tank in view, my eyes would constantly be drawn to the tank and then I would get my ass fragged, or fragged more so than it already does I guess.

lol, Well lets just hope that doesnt happen.

Filled up the tank today tested out the herbie and everything works out the way it should I believe. Had a few leaks in the return ended up fixing those and picked up about 45lbs of LR from jasond, Thanks again man.

Oh yeah and thanks to Kevin at redcoral for all the advice. Best place for anything saltwater in this town

I really like the basic shape of your rock layout except for one little thing. The rocks on the righthand side all have a little lean to the left. I think that if you could straighten them out a little it would look really great.

Too risky.

That is a very tall tank and they brace it because the glass is thin.

I would simply get T5's. They spread the light much better so you would barely see the brace at all.
