Thanks!
I needs a bit more cleaning up with some cable ties in the channels, etc, but it is by far the cleanest wiring for a tank I've done yet. I could never get a sump organzed like this before.

Added sand and all the rocks had been transferred in and I let things settle down a little, then I proceeded to scape the rocks like I had envisioned. Extra rock went in the sump or frag tank which is also freshly set up.
This was the easy part, as I had been planning this tank for months I knew exactly what I had wanted to do. I placed the rocks as if my tank was only 30x18x18, leaving the entire front end of the tank open for swimming. I then moved the structure away from the back wall a little to keep it more open and extended some lower sloping rock into the open space. I am very pleased with the results and it leaves enough space for some coral placement and plenty of negative space.

Enjoy!

Thanks! I am pretty pleased with it.
I am setting up my quarantine next so I will be able to stock this up soon.
