My new first tank so far

While you're at it, how about some pics of the sump/refugium? I need ideas.

I need to get a bigger sump tank the skimmer hardly fits in I'm looking for the right size but its hard to find I have very little space in the bottom.
 
You may want to make sure those rocks are stable. If TV vibrations set them to falling, I can imagine what would happen if you are working on the tank. You don't want them falling at a later stage when you have coral in there. One quick way to do it is get several tubes of epoxy putty, available at most larger hardware store's for a good price (I get mine from Lowe's), and more expensive at LFS's. Stuff good amounts where the rocks come together so that the putty acts as a brace and secondarily as a bonding agent. If you have a skimmer running, turn it off for 48 hours because the epoxy putty will drive it nuts.
Ill look into getting me some soon. The whole left side started shifting after about three weeks and I couldn't go any longer it looked ready to fall. I did the wiggle test it was fine but the constant vibration wasn't so good. Thanks for the info on the epoxy.
 
Looking good!
 
Coming along nicely! :)
 
Looking good! The openness of your rock work is great.
