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!  ROCK IN!  FIRST AQUASCAPE ATTEMPT - NOT FINAL! Getting too cloudy too see anything...

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!

Thanks guys.
Finally clear today. Was going to run an ammonia and nitrates test to see if I was getting much of a cycle but I realized I have all of my test kits at my Mom's. May run into Red Coral since it's just up the road tomorrow to check it out. Looks good so far, plenty of snails and stars crawling around. Hope to go pick up the additional rock pieces from My 72G in another day or 2 depending on the nitrates. Then I can finish up the aquascaping.

Are you going bare bottom with this tank? or just waiting to add sand?
