Looks great.  Basic is good, less to break.

Rock and sand in and the lights on and it'll look great!

Looks like a fun tank. That's great that you were able to do LEDs. Just one thought on the plumbing (maybe it's too late and you have it up and running already). On the drain line, I always try to minimize the number of elbows in the pipe (especially 90 degree elbows) because they can slow your drain flow, and even make it uneven if you have sections of horizontal pipe. yours may work just fine, but if you have any issues with it, I would try replacing the 90 elbow just outside the stand with a 45, then you could just rotate the elbow next to the bulkhead up to meet it, so the last segment of pipe would be at 45 degrees in stead of horizontal. Anyway, like I said, you may already have it running fine. If so, awesome!
