We found the skull on eBay. It's not sold as an aquarium decoration but it's resin and the paintwork is very thin acrylic so we thought it was worth a try. It's been in there a few weeks now and everything seems ok. The turbos have been keeping it shaved hehe

That looks interesting already and you don't have anything in there yet.
I bet it's gonna be a feast for the eyes when you get it where you want it. Why did you cook the rocks or start over, did you move?...

Wow rdmpe, that 180 with three islands is stunning!...

rdmpe- I have plenty of experience with "island" type aquarium designs. FWIW it looks like the water returns are located down near the bottom of your aquarium. This is a critical design flaw. What happens if the power goes out? Never rely on check valves because they can and will eventually fail (use hammer and check valve in a search). If electricity to your aquarium and check valves ever fail, the water level inside will drop and livestock can be left baking under your lights (not to mention that a LOT of water will drain to your sump area). Bring all water returns to the surface of the water. You can hide the returns in one of those rock stacks.

I wanted to have two distinct rock features on either side of the tank and in the middle i wanted an open space for my carpet anemone. Here are some pics, the tank has been up about a week now. It almost reminds me of a trench kind of.

Here is mine.

I wanted to have space around the formation so the water could flow easily.

One year later I can see that the grovth put limitations on the origional idea.
