Hi all, after a decade+ hiatus I've decided to jump back in. Lots to learn and pick back up, and the landscape has changed quite a bit! My tank isn't as large or as nice as many peoples', but I'm trying to do it right and make something nice of it. Comments, suggestions, and constructive criticisms are always welcome!

Here is my cabinet and me attempting to mount and wire things nicely before putting the tank on and locking the stand in place.

And here is the assembled tank along with where it resides in the room. The large bay window to the left does not receive direct sunlight in on the tank, and the left side of the tank has backing/film so the glass is blocked from behind and on the left to further protect from direct light. (photos below are from a couple of months after the above, long cycle time before any livestock were added)

Here are some closer shots of my rock work... I'm very happy with the right side, not so much the left as its fairly unimaginative but then again gives plenty of open water space and room for things to grow, so maybe it's OK.

And my first two fish after a couple of months of cycling, a mated pair of Mocha Storm clowns :) They've been in for a couple of weeks now and seem very happy, energetic swimming and healthy eating.
