Tank is looking good! Love the rock shelf. Do you just use it for frags or is it a permanent part of the rockscape?

Just for frags right now, got carried away with the WWC sale last weekend. Looking to start a frag tank so they will stay there for now.

How is the flow in your tank I have two of the Nero 3 heads as well. I have one facing forward from the rear to the front on the right side. The other facing right from the left side. I am getting some sand movement onn the front lower right side now after aiming the return toward the surface to get some aggitatioin for the surface. I havent had enough time to adjust things around yet. But was wondering how the heads flow with both mounted on the back facing froward?
