Very nice start! My only recommendation would be to add a background, because I think seeing the wall and equipment distracts from the contents of the tank. Some people paint the back, some buy backgrounds from their LFS's. I went really high tech: I cut open an old black pillow case and ran it along the back!

Or, you could just wait until the coraline algae covers the back glass, and it won't be an issue.

Really, you're doing great!

Hehe In my younger days me and roomates had FW tank in our house. Our background was cutouts of the girls from Maxim magazine. It actually looked pretty neat and well of course the fish were very happy :)

I'm always telling my hubby that it's time for me to "clean the schmutz off the glass." Now, I'll be thinking about smuts or worse! Thanks alot! :roll:

Ya all the rock you see is LR. So far so good i really like having a salt water tank. Its alot of work but its well worth it when you see your tank start to come together.


If you look at my torch coral you can see heads where there are no tentacle things coming from them. The store told me itd grow back but im wondering how long that would take.

I used some old mat board for framing pictures, my wife had, and it worked great.
