Sand settled, finally relatively clear. Sand was cleaned and reused and was still a little smelly even after extensive cleaning. Nitrates up to 5-10 but not bad considering.
Hard to get a good picture of the aquascape but whatever. It will look completely different covered in coral anyway. Excuse the cords and extra powerheads. Need to buy some new powerheads eventually.

Well, started messing around with the aquascaping again since I wasn't really loving the right rock wall and wanted to have more space infront. Created a V wall instead with a direct path down the center to the back wall. Really LOVE it because it creates much more depth!
Tank is abit cloudy so I will take pics tomorrow! Starting to hate maintaining 2 tanks 20 minutes apart. The 72 has started to show some high nitrates (40!)..ugh! Combination of messing around rocks, removing some rocks(biological filter), skimmer not skimming properly, and Mom being a little too generous on the feedings. Brought it down a touch with a WC and fixed the skimmer. CUT the fedings too. Hopefully it settles down! 144G is doing well. Starting to see the ugly diatom bloom already. Plumbing and sump still on hold.

New Aquascape. Hard to capture in a pic but the wall actually sticks out a fair ways to make the tank look deep!
  Loved how the GSP flouresced under actinics - give me a break all I have to look at is GSP, Mushrooms and Rock!
