Aquascape Help


Howdy all. Everyone must have thought I dropped off the earth. I showed up out of no where over the winter at the March meeting talked about the bottomless budjet tank I am working on. So the system is plumbed and near ready for aquascape help. I'm looking to hire on one good guru. Not knowing all of you that well can someone point me in the right direction. Overview of the whole tank:

150 gallon custom viewable from both sides 4' long 22" deep, 36" tall
MRC MR-2 Skimmer w/ Blue Line 70
MRC CR-2 Calcium Reactor Eheim for cir. and mag power head for flow
1/2 Chiller Aqua Medic
Blue Line 55 for main flow
In line mechanical, chemical, and heat modules Life Guard Style new company name not coming to mind
500Watt Heater
2-400 10K Hallides
2- 48" VHO's ICE Cap Ballast
Neptune Controller: PH, Temp, Hallides
Solar 1000 Controller for dimming of VHO's
Tank Pics to come soon of how I cramed all this into a 4'x24"x36" space. My nuckles were a bit bloddy up from it but well worth it all. Been a long day so no spell check tonight. Any recomendations on on who might be free in about 3 to 4 weeks for a full weekend would be great. Paid gig so we would work something out and the plan is to do all live rock aquascape at once.

Thanks in advance,
Brent T.

seems very nice- I would however go with 2 smaller heaters instead of one big one. Just in case it gets stuck on- with 2 smaller ones at least you would have only half the heat stuck on if one decided to malfunction. Just a thought though.

WOW 36" tall.... I hope you have a nice set of tongs/forceps Do you have an idea what type of look you are going for?? It is good to have some idea if you want it really full, really functional, really open, or just a nice medium of those aspects of aquascaping. Also about how many pounds do you plan to work with??
