I really like the progression. It looks great. I recently redecorated my 125 too. I, like you, am getting better each time I try. I should start a thread for mine. You've inspired me!

Hey, someone else in Florida. Yeah, luckily for me, my girl friend and I take pictures all the time of our setups so I had all the old pictures. It's cool to see it's progression. You should definitely make your own progression thread. 
Thanks. Those things are heavy as hell! Lol. Was hard to slowly put them in there since my tank sits quite high and the heavy one was a good 30lb. I just read your plywood build last night. It's looking really awesome.
you really have to help me find those plastic plants you tied to the top left of the tank... gosh I would love to have those
Thanks man. Gotta give credit to everyone here who in one way or another gave excellent advise and ideas. I wish I can my hands on some awesome rocks like that. Resources here are very limited.
I'm not sure what else to tell you about those besides where I got them.
I'm tellin' yeah. I went to the local AC Moores and they have tons of these in fake plant bundles in the fake plant section. They were like 4.99 each. I can pretty much guarantee any AC Moore will have them. Here are the ones that are closest to you. Go check them out!

There has to be some landscaping companies around your local area! That's where I got mine. Local rock quarry down the road that does large landscaping projects. They have piles of them just laying around.
Here's updated pictures for everyone of the finished product with the rock piles in the corners that I finally got around to doing and getting pictures of.
Thanks. Yeah, I remember when I got my first "big" tank. My 55g. I spent like 33$ on lava rock at the lfs. I always drove by that rock quarry and figured I'd check it out and when I did it was like a gold mine. And so cheap. I got both piles of those rocks for like 9.50$! I think it was like 30lb too.
