Are you guy's waiting on sw and livestock? Cuz i am!!!

Maybe today i can get the wood for the frame of the top hood light rail holder thingy.
Ive got an idea of drilling big holes for the door cut outs and using a jig saw to cut em out. Than just screw in some hinges. Right?
Lol

Tank as it sits. This is my 2nd aquascape. I could use some pointers, advice, or good old criticism

I would start by making a rock wall on the overflow wall. Then go from there. You dont want to look at a flat purple wall in the future . Will give ya more places for coral.
 
How about something like this?

I have a couple pages bookmarked on the web for the "aesthetics of aquascaping". The articles talk about the "rule of thirds" like spiezak mentioned as well as forced perspective. There are three articles on the subject I can link to if you want. I plan on reading back through them when I start my tank which is very similar in layout to yours.

How about you do all of the hard work and I just copy you!

Which panels are going to be removable? And how are you going to keep it from racking? Are you going to add more lights?
