Looks great so far!

I like those mounting rails you're using for the pipes, and the clips - where do you find those?

Thanks.

Those are called unistrut or just strut. I used aluminium strut for those, it's about 20 bucks for 10'. And the clamps are called P-clamps or cobra clamps. You buy them for the size of pipe you want.
You can get it any electrical wholesaler, probably plumbers too. But I am a sparky so I go with what I know.
My water mix station is made from normal strut that I painted. And the frag tank is hanging with ready rod from strut, and there is strut under the frag tank.
You can get hundreds of different connecting parts for strut too.

Added a couple chairs.

Finally at a point I can kick my feet up and enjoy it. Need a few more fish, a lot of corals, and still lots of little things to do, but at least I can kick my feet up now and then.

The wet bar construction is what I am starting next

They are from polyramaplastics.com here in Edmonton. They don't sell to the public anymore though. I have a spare large one if you ever come up this way. I think it was 65 bucks from them with the lid. Would sell it for 40. And if you wanted more Josh at Marine Aquaria can get them in for ya.

I like the general idea of your aquascape. I think you need some variety in the rock shapes though, I think that's why you're having trouble. The pile on the left seems to consist of very similarly sized round rocks.

The fish look happy!
