Looks great so far Lance. Are you going bare-bottom? If so, is the rock attached together with epoxy? Otherwise I would worry about a rockslide damaging the glass on the bottom.

The rock work is beautiful & I'm glad that you bought the tank off my friend.

Hey Anthony. Good to hear from you. Yeah, I'm going bare-bottom. To start with anyway; if I decide I don't like it I can always add sand later. I did worry a little about a rockslide, but once I got the rock stacked it is very stable. (took me hours) It looks more precarious than it is. I think it will be OK.

Irene & I tried the BB look but after six months, we decided that we really hate BB so we added sand & love it.

I hope they pull decent skimmate as this tank will have a pretty large bio-load with the large fish. Any MR owners out there? I could use a few tips as to proper water level, air adjustment etc.

I'm not totally sure yet. I know my SF tang, Foxface and Coral Beauty from my 90g are going in. I think probably one more tang (Kole maybe); a Harlequin Tusk Wrasse; a large angel or two; maybe one of the more peaceful triggers (Pinktail, Bluechin); and maybe a Copperband BF.

Great talking with ya Lance, i think that we solved your problems with your sump and skimmer. Justremeber huge becketts don't need alot of air to suck the guts out of your fish...... nice skimmer by the way.

wish I had it
