Believe it or not my wife is also loving it, she asked if she can keep the lights on a little longer last night as she sat there and stared at it.
 
It looks amazing Mike !!! Are you going to add more rock or this is it? If you can post few pictures with lights on, in the evening when it is dark would be great. Have to come by one day and see it in person.

Mark, I will be adding probably another 100 lbs of tonga branch later this week. I will definitely post some pictures with the lights on at night. Next time you're around in the area let me know, you are more than welcome to stop by!

Thanks Clifton!I will be adding the rock this Thursday or Friday depending on when I finally have some time. I should then be able to put the sand in the tank this weekend. The SG finally reached .022. It only took 4 boxes or crystal sea salt.
