Hello just joined the board and new to the hobby. Need aquascape opinions!

My tank setup:

100 W Stealth heater in chamber one
Tab between chamber 1 and 2 removed to improve water flow
False bottom removed in chamber one and 2
Bioballs removed and added Tunze 9002 skimmer and media basket from ( http://www.mediabaskets.com/Demo_Rack_with_Tunze.html )
Running chemipure elite and purigen in the media basket along with filter floss, the water pours from chamber 1 into the media basket in chamber 2, hits the filter floss first then water gets pulled through both filter media and on to the skimmer and pump.
upgraded pump to Maxi Jet 1200 but running into some heat issues so may need to go down to a MJ900 or the Rio 6HF
Koralia 1 added to further improve flow
Added fish guard to prevent marine life from jumping into the chamber area

40lbs of carib sea live sand
about 40-45lbs of live rock

Tank is currently cycling

wow looks very promising! love the rock work.

It looks like you are off to a great start. Keep us posted.

looks like you've done your research on this one. nice scape looks like it has the makings to be a very nice tank. what are your plans for livestock?

Looks like a nice aquascape. If I were to play around with one thing it would be that rock on the left side that is stacked on top of the bottom rock. It looks a little like it just sitting there from the angle of the photo at least, maybe turn it a bit or just play around with it so it looks more a part of the whole thing or maybe you just need a different rock in there. Look forward to updates!

Will do Jerome thanks for the suggestion.

As far as tank list I haven't ironed it out quite yet I am going to add a CUC crew soon after the Nitrites read 0 I am at zero on Ammonia and around 2 weeks into the cycle. Most likely I will make a jawfish the first fish and let it chill out for a bit and add a pair of clownfish after then I am not totally sure where to go next. I love the blue spotted jawfish but man it's pricey anyone with any experience on the care and life expectancy of these guys?
