    I think it will look cool with the Hawaiian black argonite from Caribe-Sea

    No am using the new Hawiian Black Argonite sand from Caribe-Sea
    I am however going to add a couple of LBS of the old CC for better seeding but will put it behind the LR and mix it in a bit.
    Most of my LR has been drilled w/acrylic rods except for some of the smaller top pcs.

    Thanks Steve...crazy how what seems should take a few hours turns into a whole day and not even get half done what you want.

    But I am going to do it right so will move all the rock then the new and old substrates and as much old water as I can get without it being dirty.

    Hmm maybe I need to take a day off work LOL

    Finger is starting to wake up......

    Little snow left in the water but alot better than I thought it would
    I did 25 new saltwater and the rest is old water from the 50.
    Believe it not that is almost 95lbs of all Fiji rock. I added the rock 1st and then added 40lbs of black argonite ontop of about 5lbs of old CC from the 50
    Gave me about 2-2.5" of sub
    Right now the perimters are:

    SG 1.025
    Temp 75.8
    Ca: 450
    KH 8.5
    no feeding tonight ( I feed daily in very small portions ) Except for the Hog Tang....He gets nori every other day soaked in Zeocon

    oh THW they do not like the LCD TV on tonight.....too much flasing I guess...

    your clown looks amazing. Personally I'm a fan of more live rock, and it would definately help with processing your waste. But other then that it looks nice
