i love the extra depth and the fish do too.it is going to be a sweet tank when the corals come back

oh and the rockwork litteraly took me about 5 minutes to do.i think thats the best way to do it.some of my best aquascaping has been done like this.
 
yea i know i still need to move the dart board lol.but i have been working at my fire station and part time station for 36 hours straight.havent been home to fix that yet.

if anyone has any lighting or a good skimmer they are wanting to get rid of let me know.im wanting 250 watt MH and 48" t-5 setup.
