    Find Dingo's video tutorial from one of the3 reef contests, where he shows you in details how to plan your aquascape. I would look up the link 4 u, but I'm on the phone.

    Those are the best instructions I ever found, specially so well explained and in video. I wish I would have had that tip when I set my rock in the beginning (I have the infamous wall-o-rock) :)

    Besides... take advantage of this slow build to plan, read and look at pictures of different 140 scapes online. I think this is all you will need for a killer aquascape.

    Definitely going to be a big project.
    Magnus, thanks, I'll probably look that up. I've gone out to the garage several times and stared at the tank, and I'm already getting a vision (that's usually how I place corals LOL). I will definitely be looking at pics, though. I'm thinking island/s since I've never gotten to do that before! Definitely something asymmetrical with some open sand space (never had sand space either!). Finding a place for it in the house will also be a challenge LMAO.

    This sounds like you should a great deal of fun when you start building.

    Yeah, I think it will be, too! I'm checking out aquascapes right now. This tank is so tall I'm pretty sure we'll be using a few zip ties to get some height LOL.
