Sure, I'll do that tonight.

I think a long tank would really benefit from it. I know in my setup the debris tends to circle around the return nozzles from the sump. It eventually finds it's way to the overflow but a coast to coast would work MUCH better.

Nice to see some life in there! Will there be more rock added to the upper portion?

Speaking of overflows... I have a gyre in my tank and I can watch crap blast across the back, round the bend and make it's way across the front pane towards the overflow... only to turn that corner and drift within 3 inches of the overflow! Luckily things go around the tank all day so eventually it works out lol.
