    here is the rock :) Couldnt be any happier. John at ReefCleaners.org | Clean Up Crews and Macro Algae - Home picked me out some of the best rock I could have ever asked for! Anyone needs rock on the cheap, and doesnt mind the little bit of extra time it takes for base rock to grow algae, he is the way to go!!!
    ***This is 112 pounds of base rock***

    Well, got the rock stacked in there. I think it looks good, there is a small area behind the rock for the fish to swim and play in. I also stuck a powerhead back there to make sure I had good water flow. Anyhow, here it is. It did pretty decent forsure. I will probably get another 50 pounds or so to stack in there later on down the road. Anyhow, here they are:

    Ok, here is a few more pictures of the tank, when the water has cleared up abit. I think i am going to add about another 50 lbs of rock to build a few more shelves in the front for corals, etc.
