when it comes to aquascaping milad its all about your vision. i think it looks good i wouldnt worry about gaps being to big or too small just be sure you dont have a rock slide and broken glass is my only concern. if you are happy and rock is secure... you are good to go

well the thing is I only have 150 MH so I wanted to get some height on the rock so I can put a few SPS in there. I can remove rock later right? When I get the new sump in Ill have more room to put rock in the sump.

Im also thinking of putting a small rubbermaid container in the sump to act as a refugium. Anyone think thats a bad idea? I dont want to put glass in, I was just gonna put the container in and drill some holes to let water slowly flow through.

Looks good so far, you'll have to do a pic when she's all cleared up.

There's a lot of good ones on the market. Get something that floats for sure.
And the one thing I learned is bigger isn't always better.
Those super strong magnets are ok until you pick up a grain or two of sand under them, then it's scratch city.
The one thing you will want to buy for sure is an "Easy Blade Scraper Attachment". It will save you tons of time scraping that really hard stuff from the inside.

Did you mix your salt in the tank or add it right after you mixed it ? That what it looks like. Not to bad to do during like your water change, but for a complete tank fill thats what happens.
