Beautiful setup! Good job! Thanks for sharing! I think it looks pretty good with that amount of live rock actually but I understand if you want to go higher.

for now in a couple months it won't look like that. tony while i have you do you have any thoughts on how to quiet down the return pump. it is a panworld pump and by far the quietest pump i ever had but in the cabinet it always seems to create alot more noise then it should i can even hear it vibrate in to my garage, i tryed using a foam rubber it helped but not as much as i would like. any thoughts?

the problem is how it is attached to the sump...You are going to want to use some of that black flexible (maybe available in clear) hose from the LFS, and a few mousepads under the pump.
