  1. my first tank was very similar to what he has and it traped allot of crap that could easily have been avoided by having the rocks even a few cm from the sand. it makes it alot easier to avoid dead spots, not much involved either. seems strange that you would advise against something that might help him and make life easier :-?
  2. looks good. only suggestion i have is to elevate the rocks off the sand a bit (cant tell if they are sitting on racks at the back
  3. heres a pic of my planned aquascape :lol: if anyone has suggestions about improving flow and light use via aquascape speak up. the plan is to have the return coming from the right hand side over the top with a seaswirl so it covers the whole tank nicely.
