    Thanks man. I'm pretty happy with it. Although I'm sure I'll do a little bit of tweaking here and there.

    Personally I like the minimalist look myself. I think the negative space helps to highlight the structures that are there. They don't' get "lost" in in it all. Then again, I've seen some heavily rocked structures that look amazing too :).

    In any case, I like it. Your structures look really good. I can also appreciate how much time it takes to get them looking that good. Did you break any rock while drilling it for the rods? That gets frustrating especially when you have the perfect vision in your mind for your rock and then break one of the buggers when you drill. Or is that just me? LOL.

    Can't wait to see this stocked up. Given any more thoughts to trying an Achilles Tang in this tank? Should have plenty of room now...

    Yeah I had one really good rock that would have been a great overhang snap into 5 pieces as soon as I got a inch down into the rock with the drill, it was definitely a bummer but I ended up using those pieces for the small right island I have so its all good.
    u know me man, Ive always wanted a Achilles tang, might give it a go in this tank!

    heres a pic with the lights on finally. (yes heaters still in tank, moving them tonight)

    Thanks man. I wasn't even looking to upgrade really but when I saw this tank I had to have it. The dimensions are exactly what I always wanted.
