hi kaotik, no i cant have it built in because theres no access from behind to service the tank but it will have doors below and flap doors above , it will look as if it was built in

That brown stuff covering your rock is brown diatoms. It is totally normal for a cycling tank. If it bugs you too much it comes off with a touch of a finger, but it will come right back for at least a couple of weeks. Hope this helps.

Is that brown stuff on your rock hard or soft?
The tank looks great, the l/r looks great too. I see the design your going for and like it alot. Isn't it funny when we start mentioning prices we all look over our shoulder to make sure our others not around.
Hey rick off topic my husband and I are going to Austriallia for our fifth anniversary, we are only going for two weeks. He wants to go see the croc hunter, and I the great barrier reef. Besides that what are some of the most amazing sites to see there?

hi nemo, well you guys are of to a good start, the reef such a nice place, the top end is great, but if you can squeeze in western aust. places like broome its top shelf! and never crowded.(youll most likely become an aussie mate!!!!!!! and we will be stuck with you :thinking: lol. love to have you guys here! and sea some of our back yard! :D (rick)
ps. that stuff on the rocks its soft, i hope it spreads. :happy:
