Is there enough places to attach coral to? There is between 12-16 inchs from the glass to the rocks.

Looks good to me.
Can we see a side shot?
I noticed you have the Hydor Koralia Power pumps (at least that's what they look like). Do you like them? Which one do you have? I was thinking about ordering two of the Koralia #3 (850 gph) for my 125 gallon tank. I would like to know what you think of them so far. ***)

Definetely make sure your magnet can clean all three sides. Meaning, leave atleast 1-2 inches clearence on the sides.

Glad they are doing good for you. I've decided to order those same PH for my tank. They use less wattage as most other PH I've seen. I won't have anything to compare them to either (I'm a newbie
), but I think they will work for what I want.

can i suggest that it does look like a great wall, but you should get it off of the glass for sure, creates dead spots and very hard to reach and clean areas

I did put some power heads behind the rocks to keep water moving. Thats what the lfs told me to do. There a couple of mj and there on the back wall firing at each other. Is that good or should i move everything? Oh by the way i watched some stuff flow around the tank it would go behide the rocks then come back out and so forth.

I think you have enough rock, but you know what they say never is never enough =).....Do you have a sump or fuge, you can add LR and LS in there as well for filtration. It looks good, when you aquascape have spaces so fishes can swim by the rocks. Welcome, and patience is a virtue....Take your time, choose right and enjoy....
Good Luck~~~~
