Aquascaping
This is an initial shot at getting the base aquascaping in. The end result is bound to look quite a bit different as I still have 50lbs of live rock to add to the system once its flowing.
Also I got the back of the tank painted black...

Yeah it is alot of rock, I ordered too much. You get alot of bang for your buck when you buy dry rock. I didn't realize it would amount to so much. I have even left some out of the tank that I got in my order. Maybe it will end up in the sump.

Make sure it's accessible. I have maybe 30 lbs in mine but I can't really get to it and stuff does accumulate there. More so now that I'm not running filter socks.

Plumbing is complete
Got the plumbing all done. Went pretty well for my first time. Haven't leak tested it yet but i'm pretty confident it should be fine.

Hay Mike you may want to spin the sump around before you do your pumping lol the filter socks on the outside will be way easier to take out and clean
