ok, so FFWD, a week, i have gotten the sand in and rock work in, i went with a super basic lay out, as i like to have lots of room at the top for fish to swim. also, put in a 45 pipe fitting, for the return, water is blowing across the tank now, its awesome.
2 damsels are in the tank now, and are eating well, even though they have the whole tank to them selves for now, they still find the time to chase each other. right now, we just have a single 39wt t5 on one side of the tank, i have two double 54 wt fixtures that a friend is going to hook me up with, so when he gets back from va-k I will make a trip to see him. I am kinda playing with the idea of having two pendents over the two open spots over the tank (the tank has a massive bracing in the center), but I think a combonation of t5 fixtures is going to win. BTW, these will probably not be changed out every 2-3 months.
