Well I finally got the aquascaping and all like I want it for the time being. I went with 2 islands, a larger on the right and a smaller on the left wrapping around the overflow...

RO/DI got plumbed through the house from the utility closet, so the line is in there right now filling her up. Hopefully late tomorrow night I'll be adding salt and powerheads to start the cycle

I'll toss up some new pics tomorrow night. I definitely got away from the stacked rock look the 29 had (albeit the 29 didn't really give many options since it was so small) and this will give my fish alot more room to dart around. The tank is only 18 inches longer and 6 inches deeper then the 29, but by god it dwarfs it with the 2 sitting close to each other in the same room.

Ok here's some pics... These 2 are the FTS, 1 a little bit further out and the colors washed out, so I brought it in a bit closer. These are just cellphone pics so not the best quality

Here's the view from the left side of the tank

Here's the view from the right side

And here's a shot of my new Metal Halide light fixture. It's a 48" outer orbit setup, with 2 150w Metal Halides and 4 54w t5 bulbs. It also includes 18 mixed LED's in the fixture for moonlighting.
