    I like it! Plenty of places for fish to hide and swim about the rocks, and lots of options for coral placement. You will need some good flow on the back right of the tank to avoid dead spots.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    It's a great scape, very 3 dimensional, not just a pile of rocks.

    Thanks by the time I get this up and running I'm hoping to have my second mp10 hopefully. :) Zero dead spots!

    Just as a heads up... I have the same "DJ Strip", and a similar skimmer, placed in a similar location as you. It ended up leaking some stray voltage into the tank. It took ~4-6 months to do this. I moved it outside the stand and all was better. You may consider making a divider in your stand to keep the electronics in a little less humidity. I'm sure you (as I) want to keep most things in the stand to keep a clean look.

    Thanks, I was actually thinking about something this weekend and have been looking around for ideas on how I could go about doing this. Thanks again for the heads up Jim.

    You could mount it to the back of the stand. Assuming you have room to reach back there to plug stuff in. The blue lights are not intense enough to be much of an issue.

    I was actually thinking of something more of like a electronic stand of some sort.. or some kind of neat panel.. I need to brainstorm more though.
