Do you have an overflow on your tank or did you drill for a sump?

akopley, your setup is looking great man. I love that Lemon Peel. A bright yellow fish is like a splash of moving sunshine in a tank.

Hey, how do you like the 1" sea swirls? Are you pushing the 2 of them with the Dolphin pump? Do you have any pics of how you've got them plumbed? I'm looking for some alternating flow in a 54g and have considered a sea swirl. Would really like your feedback on their performance.

Keep us posted with your progress. It's fun watching a tank come to life.

i was checking out my tank at night and i noticed some white worm like things in my rock that quickly retracted as soon as i put the light on them. What are they and should i be concerned.
