Time for an update and a question.

The question first, is this piece of driftwood to overpowering? I'm leaning that way but I like the wood, I thought I'd ask the pros.



It looks even bigger it the picture.

Construction update:

With the overflow dropping to the sump under the tank I decided it needed a pre filter to keep debris from getting into the sump and plugging the pump inlet, I came up with this. let me know what you think.




It is made out of under gravel filter lift tube material and the lee's 5/8" hard tubing.

I should have the base finished tomorrow, the light is under construction, I am almost ready to plant. I have gone to all of my LFS possibilities and didn't find a single plant healthy enough to start with so I think I will have to wait on planting this tank until my 90Gal. is ready.
