I am a fan of sand beds, so my opinion may be biased, HAHA!

got a few new things today in the mail! got my set of Pfertz and my new ehiem 2213 filter so no more noisy HOB filter that wasnt cycling the tank well. also moved out my blyxa from my 10g into this tank to add some texture difference and height to some of the areas of the tank should look nice once they fill out a little. also bumped up the co2 and light intensity a little bit to get some better growth

Looking good man.
I would slide the intake over behind the big rock and make it disappear

Even if the rock rests on the intake tube, it won't hurt it as long as the grill isn't blocked. The tank is looking awesome!

Your tank is looking great dude — very strong. And h4n's suggestion is solid.

i tried it there and it looked a little off. im trying to keep any height centered around the big rock to keep the focus on the rock.

Ahh I see! Sound good! Maybe try something else there. Something so it doesn't attract attention, but it makes it not empty and distracting to the eyes

yea def, i had two already from my 20g that i moved over then got a couple more so they wouldn't be lonely. im trying to decide of fish for this tank still. idk if i want to go with a bunch more of he rummys and do blue tetras or just keep this small school then go with a huge school of blue tetras. all i know for now is that i want some blue tetras in this tank. i have never kept them before and they have them at my lfs.
