    also maybe try and stack like a left island pretty close to the top and then make a small island on the right and leave some room on the sand for other stuff, like corals

    either way it looks good now,

    Interesting idea, I was thinking about stacking the right and then kinda having the left more open. We'll see how it goes. ::)

    Thanks for the suggestions. Keep 'em comin'!

    Its funny what a difference the camera angle makes LOL
    You need to slow down on the stocking - all those fish and SPS corals already is asking for problems IME

    Tank looks good Mike
    you will add more rock , otherwise you will run out of real estate for corals to quickly IME

    I was thinking the same thing so I am going to add some more rock on top of the Live piece on the right and will be posting pics soon.

    Thanks Steve.:thumbs_up

    I added a couple rocks and I think this is just about it. I'm happy with it for now. I think I have enough real estate for corals, for now. I'm already thinking about what corals I want and where I want them. ;D

    Well update for the new rocks with perfectly clear water. :)

    Ammonia - 0ppm
    Nitrite - 0ppm
    Nitrate -20ppm
    pH - 7.8

    temp: 78.6

    Will do a water change tomorrow. So now my question is, what should be moved over first? I have a neon goby that I am transferring to this tank and a pair of skunk cleaner shrimp. Which should I move over first?

    I have yet to see much action with diatoms and any algae for that matter, but I will be ordering my Cuc when I do. I have to get the new lights as well so it becomes a matter of priority. I'm most likely going to be getting some PAR30's or PAR38's, so I can buy them one at a time.

    Move the neon first IMO. Maybe try to raise the ph to at least 8.0?
