So far its looking great and I can only sit in front of my computer in anticipation for the final plumbing & the cover to be in place!
Just looking at my own tank, I wish I had that much room to open things up and not have the tank look dominated by the rock - I think yours is already looking balanced and will be awesome as things settle in and grow out. Knowing your room & the tank placement, I think its going to be a really good setup, kinda tapering away from the house wall, into the open space of the room. If it wasn't already, it'll definitely be a show stopper, now!

Thank you Vic - it is coming along. I'm not done with the aquascaping yet as I am just not 100%....
Leah - they were in the tank with just power heads for 2 days maybe three. I think/know they would have been fine for longer than that. I think it was a combintaion of stress and how I had placed all the rock in the tank while I set up the other one. They had little to no room to move and no light. I ran my other tank for days without a skimmer or sump and everything was fine.... Also it may have been me who was stressed and worried and as I said I went into panic mode

Tank is looking great Jeff...hope mine will look half as good.
 I definetly get the whole panic mode.  All I have done is make some water and washed and organized stuff and I am thinking... Crap...  ... and this is still the easy part.

When I've had to do large moves/changes (admittedly mostly freshwater) I've tried to have separate containers (read: Rubermaid tubs) for the fish, rock/substrate & plants. For the fish container, I put some fake plants or plastic rocks with crevices for hiding - these are lighter & easier to clean and ensure sterility before and after - kinda the same you'd do in a quarantine tank, It seems to have worked well & I don't stress (well, not as much ), especially about things falling on creatures.
