New tank will be a mixed reef....still waiting on tank and equipment...... Thinking I should use my old rockscape because the rock is over 1 year old... To help cycle the new tank....

I have two mp40s, a vectra s2, 2 xr30 g5 blues. A nyos skimmer which works great, I also have macro in the sump with the skimmer and a kessil as the light growing the macro.

Gonna go with this aquascape what yall think
I dig the aqua scape. I just got the waterbox 50.3 aio this past Tuesdays, still need set up a build thread for it.
One thing after 2nd look, maybe on the left side put some rock in front to match the right side, but thats just my 2cents
