Default First Shots of the Tank

Greetings, all!

well, about halfway through setting up the tank - need to get some hoses tomorrow!!

Here are a few shots of the tank, pardon the sticker on the outside of the glass, i'll get to it eventually!!

Any comments on the setup is greatly appreciated!! My plan is to have the heater in the bottom of the sump, am putting in a small shelf for the doser, and then double-side tape the theater control and the 'night lights' switch. It's a Coralife light fixture with actinic and 10k (>) power compact flourescents. Figure once i get things going and start adding inverts, i'll add a metal halide strip. I like the way AGA did the overflow tank, much cleaner!

Wish me luck!!
Oliver
