    I used 125# of fiji base rock from marco rocks and 120# of sand. I put approximatly 40# of live rock from my other tank in behind the base rock to help seed it. I like the shapes and look of this rock alot better than my original live rock. If you have any suggestions how I can rearrange my rock structure for better astetics please let me know.
    Thanks

    Here is the last of the pics until I get more corals and fish.;D

    How are you lighting the fuge? Is it a light mounted above the power-strip where we can't see it? Just curious...
