Preliminary rock scaping. Will tweak as I put it into the tank.

Burning that midnight oil? Lol

I dig it, I like the cove look
 
I like the way the rocks are interlocking with each other. Good work.
I have a similar look and my diamond back has them loose already.
Are you going to epoxy them together?

It came out a little different in the tank. I typically never epoxy my rocks due to I like having the ability to move them if I need to.

Yeah I like to have the that freedom also of moving them around. Especially in the beginning you are always looking at it and see another way to aquascape. But in my my that little guys is doing all the moving for me .lol

And we are now official! Everything is running getting ready to cycle. Gonna get a small piece of live rock and then in goes the piece of frozen salmon fillet.

I cycle my tanks with frozen salmon fillet....


I know.....



PS. The protein skimmer sits on a acrylic base which I am thinking of attaching some sort of rubber to because it's kind of slippery and annoys me. Any ideas?

DANCO 6 in. x 6 in. Rubber Packing Sheets 59849 at The Home Depot - Mobile

You can get this stuff at Lowes, HD, or Autozone for $2-3 a sheet. Just ask for rubber gasket material. Ive used 2 sheets under a pump to good effect. You can find ones in the big box stores that are rated for drinking water if you're paranoid about any type of chemical leeching (I just used the regular stuff and have had no concerns in over a year).
 
Update:

Got some liverock to seed the tank

Looking good! I would suggest grillings something with the nice weather. Maybe a nice London broil with some veggies and baked potatoes.
