Let me know what you think of the scape, i had it set up and changed it up a little so ignore the cloudy water. I have a new powerhead coming, that one was just borrowed from my cousin for the setup. I will be ordering a skimmer as well.
 
Rockwork looks stable enough. That mined rock stacks well.

Reef Octopus makes a really good hang on skimmer. I've not seen one working, but the Eshopps hang on looks like a good design, as well.

My one piece of advice for new reefers... Nothing good in this hobby happens fast. Take your time, move slow, and enjoy the ride!

Welcome aboard, and good luck to you!
 
The rock work is pretty stable, took some trial and error but i got pretty solid. I was going to get the eshopps HOB skimmer. One of the LFS is doing a 40% off everything sale next month i believe. My cousin works there so he gave me a heads up. He's also guiding me through the set up.
