New Tank Pics

Here's some pics of my new setup, comments welcomed

There is allot I don't know, but why did you drill the overflow holes so low
in the tank? It seems as if the water level is low enough to show salt
buildup on the sides of the tank.

The tank and wildlife is GORGEOUS! I like it.

I like it! I especially love the mandarin. I need about six months and
another 30lbs of live rock before I'm ready for such a beautiful fish to
move in here. I don't know how you pack all of the live rock in. I have
47lbs cycling in a 35G tank and figure I only have space for about fifteen
more pounds (which would also hide the currently very visible powerhead on
the skimmer) before there's more rock than water. And to think, I used to be
great with Lego.

Nice stand too!

dont be too stuck on the 75lbs rule, its not really that writen in stone, it can be done
with much much less just make places where the mandarin cant go, and water moves thru
slowly, or seed the tank before hand

The tank came drilled that way, I am still playing with balancing the
return and the overflow, I plan on raising the water level another
inch.

I have a spray bar on the side, and a home made overflow inlet. I am
using 3/4" PVC pipe that I drilled in a weeping tile kinda
arrangement...
