    Every last pebble! 150 pounds in all.

    Can't wait to see it clearly!

    What temperature should I be aiming for, for now?

    Wow that is a lot of Rock but it looks like you did a great job stacking it as it does not seem to overwhelm the tank

    temp 76 78 around there..

    Also keep your lights off on the tank as it will minimize algae bloom while cycling

    Wow, you managed to get it all in there. Nice, congrats. :)

    I set temperature for about 79 in my tank.

    Some things to consider with the rockscape is swimming room, caves for fish, room for coral growth, swimming room after coral growth, room for flow after coral growth etc. Plenty of time for that though.

    I really like the aquascape, looks very natural. You also have a lot of places for coral and fish to swim around.

    It cleared a LOT in 24hrs!

    Ammonia is about 0.2. I gotta bring the temp up though, it's only about 75. And there's a big rock leaning on the glass on the right side, so I'm gonna have to dive in and move some things.
