    Quick Update.
    I have rescaped this thing I think 4 out of the 6 days I've had it cycling, my fingers are bleeding ;) But after all the water towels, sand storms, and hammering these rocks to how I want them, I am going with this one. Also threw my extra 453nm stunner strip that I bought thinking I was gonna get a teklight fixutre in my fuge, looks pretty cool and should help with some growth in there.
