Ok so! I have made quite a bit of progress in my build. Here's are some pics from the start to current state. :dance:

Before i was even sure I wanted to get into this hobby.




Marco rock has arrived!! Awesome stuff, Highly recommended :D


This was the first aqua scape attempt.


Ended up with this..


Ended up not using this in the main display tank. I will end up using it for the Qtank though.


Its new home inside !!




My first hitchhiker :dance: hope hes not to bad...


Current sump setup...


Let me know what you guys think, any advice is most welcome! /cheers :beer:

that looks great! im a big fan of the marco rock from everything i have seen, and your aquascape looks great!

is the rock against the back glass? what kind of water flow do you have (powerheads & how many)?
Look good so far!
you may want a more open aquascape, in case you decide you want a clam or something. Try to push it back as far as you can (but not too far, you still want to be able to reach behind for siphoning).

But for a start, it looks great!

Ya... after reading a bit about aquascaping I think I may take some rock outta the main display and drop it down in the sump. There's not to much room as it is now for siphoning. I really liked the way it looked to :(

One thing I recommend on Marco rocks dry rock.. you get so much more than what you think.. Its so light.. I have a 50lb box that I'm not even gonna open because it would be waaaay to much for the tank. So take that into consideration if anyone is thinking about purchasing from them.

As far as powerhead, I have 2 Hydro 1400's on order. Only thing making flow right now is my Mag 12.
Did some pretty big upgrades this weekend!

Craigslist SCORE! 5 month old MP40w ES ($300)

Just wanted to add a quick THANK YOU! to everyone who has helped me get up and running. This is a wonderful site, with a wealth of knowledge. You guys rock :D
good find on the MP40! im always looking at jacksonvilles craigslist for aquarium stuff or a good deal on a triumph daytona 675, ours sucks!
Latest additions.. I wanted to add the second pair of clowns fairly close to the first, to try and avoid any aggression issues. I know as they get older, some might develop, but I'll cross that road when and if it comes.

Grats, system looks good. I like the choice of sump. I wish my stand was good enough to do sumps inside it :(
Got a new Picasso clownfish this weekend :D They are such beautiful fish!

So I come home today to find my new Picasso clown on the floor... talk about a crappy day :( not sure if I'm goin to replace it yet..
wow, I'm really sorry to hear that, I hate it when I loos a great fish, I never got over loosing my shrimp after having it 3 years.
I'm so depressed right now.. Gonna stop by LFS tomorrow and check out some type of cover so this does not happen again, and possibly pick up a replacement.
