Looks good your foxface will get to big for tank unless you have plans for it. Once your totally BB you could up the flow some more but all in all a good start.
 
Thanks Covey. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the Foxface just yet. I graduate from law school in May, so a year from now I may up to a bigger tank or I may sell him or trade him in at the LFS...just don't know yet.
