Is everybody this scared with their first sump? I'm not terrified anymore, but still sweating a bit.

Me! Like I said its a whole new world. For me... Sump means more equipment, more plumbing, more room for error (mostly human - mine), lots of firsts for me, and considering we have actually lives on the line not to mention water leaks and whatnot... yeah, it’s worthy of nervousness and sweats!

I'm getting to play with some Tonga rock. What do y'all think about Tonga trees? One of Andrew's (and mine) favorite silhouette is the acacia tree at sunset. Just playing with shapes right now. I'm sure there will be a lot of rescaping before we are happy with it. @NY_Caveman this rock is really beautiful!

With the background lighting we have planned, silhouettes and shapes are going to play a big role in enjoying the tank scape.

Tonga trees with gsp?

I wish they were more branching, but figured you are clever enough to make them work. I am trying to picture all of it together and getting really excited.

I have done a few structures so far, trying to plan for safe spaces for all of the livestock. Aesthetics and functionality.

I want to just mention the hybrid lighting. My planning from the beginning of our 60 was hybrid. The Noopsyche lights are more than enough without supplementation. Failure of any lighting individually, would be a critical problem to replace without lengthy planning.

I had to read that twice. At first, I thought it said, "Simon the Love Leopard."

@Katrina71 - Good news and congratulations on the new tank! I'm sure you and your family are having a great time build, planning, and everything in between till the water is flowing through the system.
