    Well, picked up the 65 yesterday and spent quite a bit of time on it. Couple pics of the progress I made--tank's still a bit cloudy, and the glass needs a cleaning, but so far so good.

    What do you guys do about powerhead placement? Right now I have two koralia 425s on opposite sides in the rear on wavemakers (alternating), and one 750 near the top in one corner that runs constantly. Plus my return pump. It seems like with a tank with these dimensions you could have powerheads all over the place.

    What do you guys suggest?

    Yep--they are all looking good today. Water cleared up quite a bit, they ate, and are pretty active exploring their new home.

    Did you transfer fish and rock from another tank? Or is your tank brand new and you put fish in the first day?

    I transferred all rock, most of the water, and all the fish in the same day.

    Updated pic--not sure if I will add another rock or two, but spent some time today scaping. Built a cave on the bottom and a couple tunnels.

    Here's a sump pic--my newly upgraded 29g (I'm using different macro algae now so forget the chaeto).

    My lights are a joke--just one compact floursent (sp).

    I am looking into Boost LEDs hopefully in the next half year or so.
