Looks like the Archaea 36W clip-on.

Do you think the noise will keep you up at night?

I dont think so, i have had tanks in my room in the past, and im a fan of ambient noise. its like a couple hundred dollar cd of "sounds of a babbling brook"

Yessir! That's what it is, and i like it quite a bit.

Are you going to use a canister filter for a more silent sound? Or since your a fan of ambient noise, you'll go for the soothing sounds of water trickling down from an HOB? LOL

Good start, when you do your hardscape keep your substrate line straight. And as for nose at night i have uh....5 tanks in my room LOL

For filtration i was planning on an Eheim 2213. I have the 2215 and 2217 running on other tanks, and IME you cant go wrong with them. HOBs always end up going from trickling to rattly for me.

For hardscape i was thinking of a rock formation like this:

@kribkeeper888: Can you elaborate on the methodology behind a straight substrate line? I am back and forth between a sloping hill(pictured in my second post) or a straight slanted line in front (pictured above) and appreciate any recommendations.

Umm, that wasn't me who suggested that. I like the more aggressive slope in the second set. As for rattling HOB's... I know what you mean.

I just ment at the front of the tank keep it straight across and slope from there.

Due to extremely laziness, here's two rounds of updates.

Hardscape: i like strong curves in the flow, something different for the eyes
