Hey everyone! Been lurking for quite some time in here and finally decided to join the club. Currently 3 days in to the cycle and its been a blast to setup. I'm cycling with aquavitro seed/live rock from LFS.

Looks nice! I plan to do something similar in my office eventually...

Personally I wouldn't bother with the ceramic rings (more than enough rock and sand in that system).

Added two clowns! They were fighting a bit the first night but seem to have calmed down a lot and hangout now with no brawl lol.
