Thanks to Brett's blessing, it's finally beginning. I filled it up, mixed up 130 gallons of salt water, and then tonight I plopped in my LR. Didn't take any pictures of the process, but I did anchor two of the rocks using a 3/4" masonry bit to drill through rock and 5/8" acrylic rod and just stacked things so I can remove them easily later if need be.
My inspiration was a reef bommie or island - the aquascape essentially looks like a big boulder where I'll try to arrange SPS and LPS colonies in an artful yet natural fashion.
I arranged all the rock (10 fairly big pieces, around 60 lbs), and added 2 bags (80lbs) of Caribsea Reef floor grade sand, which looks really nice. The bigger size will hopefully keep it down a bit better than oolithic sand.
Currently running a crap load of carbon (any residual chemicals in the water) and a phosban reactor stuffed with filter floss (for the dust). After it clears up, I'll keep the lights off for a while and run GFO to reduce and phosphates and keep the lights off. Waiting for the fog to clear....
