welcome and remember there are no dumb questions!!! I'd rather answer a dumb question than see a tank go kaput over a dumb error! Have patience, ask questions, and remember after a few months you'll be aiming to upgrade. You can be picky w that one lol!!!

Haha. Thank you all. And @Arthacker87, already upgraded once before even getting the tank. Ordered the xl300 then called the next day and upgraded tank and all equipment for the 425.

While you are waiting for your tank to arrive, I suggest you work on your rock first, try to dry aquascape using dimension of your tank. Challenge your creativity. After breaking up some rock and reglue to get the scape that you love, then it's time to submerge the aquascape rocks into brute container and seed them with bacteria to start the cycling. But you need to put some power head into the container.

I went live rock and live sand, so I am assuming I will have to work fast once getting the rock to aquascape not to have the rock out of the water for an extended period of time.
