looks good for me but id add 1 or 2 pieces of live rock to get the bacteria in, if youre scared of pest pick some with no holes for crabs etc.

just make sure that the tank side you want to clean are good to reach with a magnet cleaner = no rocks in the way

Very nice. I like it a lot.

But if you want a little feedback my suggestion would be to add a little height variance. Maybe the second column on the left could be raised so its top is about 2/3 of the way up the tank. Or maybe the column all the way on the right, same thing, about 2/3 of the way up the tank. Or any column you choose, but I would choose either one of those.

Agree with TimeConsumer, just adjust the height a little bit. I like the separate islands look. That's how I went with my tank too.

Also, create more of an illusion of depth by not lining the islands up. Bring some of them forward a bit and push others back a few inches so they aren't all the same distance from the front glass. Otherwise, that is one nice set-up you got there!

Thank you so much! I will raise one of the pillars a bit (probably the second one on the left) and post some new pictures for you. I am also considering making a small blog, so that you can follow it as it grows and matures.
