I have another rock I can add. I didn't use it because it's so big, 13 lbs. I could break it up into smaller pieces. Thoughts ?

Did some rearranging with the extra rock I broke up into smaller pieces. I think it looks much better.

Better pic using phone instead of iPad. Water is clearing up nicely.

Its not complete. I still need to tidy thing up. The power strip came from Amazon. There is just enough room for it along side the chiller.

What power strip is that. I want. That would make things so much easier to control

The thing on the left is aptaisia. remove it or it will take over your tank in no time
Thanks for the advice but it is not aptaisia. It's a small feather duster type worm.

Today I removed a IM ghost desktop that I had installed in the center compartment. I was working and producing skimate. I just couldn't get it to run without filling the display tank with micro bubbles. I installed the media basket with two sponges. I will attempt to keep the tank healthy via water changes. Worst comes to worst....I'll buy a hang on back.
