My First Full-Size Reef (75G)

Thanks everyone, took me a couple weeks of fiddling with it and probably went through like 5 different design ideas before I went with this one.
 
Since I'm pretty sure I lost a few weeks of updates in this thread from the crash, I'm finally bringing it back.

So to update, I finally got tired of the battle with ich, so I removed all my rock, sand, and fish. I replaced the sand with new sand, and put the rocks back. I then decided to run the tank fallow. I am currently at week 5 of 10. I just have to say, it has been incredibly difficult going without any fish in my DT. It has however, allowed me to concentrate on my corals a little more. I replaced my Reef Octopus NWB-110 skimmer with an SCA-302 skimmer, which I like a lot more. I also bought an MP10 for additional flow.

Here's a pic:

I also have a 29g biocube running right next to it. This tank started as a holding tank for my pair of clowns cause I had a pair in my 75, and it turned into a tank containing more exotic and designer corals and invertebrates (kind of). It went from bare-bottom, to adding extra rocks, and then adding a lot of nice corals. I turned over a lot of the decision making of this tank to my girlfriend so she can be a part of the hobby with me.
