Default Rock Wall and Aquascaping (50 Gal TB LED Lit)

So about a year ago I ordered some base rock from Eco-Reefer. I have finally completed most of the Aquascaping and it turned out well (at least I think so).

- 50 Gal Starfire tank (48" x 14" deep x 20" tall) with an external overflow on the left end
- There is a circular opening in the rock on the left wall to mount the wet-side of my Vortech MP10
- Mag Drive 7 that will return from the sump
- For lighting I have 6 * PAR38 lamps from Nanotuners and a Coralife Aqualight to blend out the spot-light effect from the lamps
- After my stand is complete you will only be able to view through the front and right sides of the tank... everything else will be enclosed

Enjoy the pics and let me know what you think. To be honest I am actually considering selling the setup and getting out of the hobby (at least temporarily).

Nice job man! I dig it.

Seeing that makes me think you should go with deep water fish species and corals. Maybe even NPS?

Too bad my camera sucks. The lighting looks much better in person... and wayyyy less blue.
