First I want to thank everyone for the comments!
I'm very excited that this is finally moving along, but it was definitely worth the wait, and was best to research every aspect of my desired system before jumping into anything. This site has also been incredibly helpful in answering questions, and giving support. So again thank you all.
Corvette, electrical-wise I'm going to be using a GFCI with my powerstrip so that will be a good safety measure, and also I'm going to be purchasing a grounding probe sometime soon to make sure I don't short myself out while working in the tank.
Cheeks, I haven't really noticed any little lifeforms yet, but to be honest with you I haven't really had any time today to just sit and watch my tank, I worked all day today. But I plan on working on my tank tomorrow, so I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for new life.
Tank is clear today, but I haven't had time to snap any new pics. I'll try to get some up tomorrow, I may mess around with the aquascaping a little bit, as I can see that as being a never ending task. It should get better when I start placing corals later down the road, and if I can't come up with a scaping idea that pleases me maybe I'll have to add more rock.
