not too sure how many pounds maybe around 30ish maybe. and as for the cycle the tank was already set up and running when i got it. the rock was just transported dry (about 45min) and the water i got was from my lfs so that is all good. i just think there is going to be a slight spike and then everything will even out.

well having the lr out of water for 45min killed all the bacteria that it had. so thats bad. and so it will get a spike but not a slight one. the saltwater you get from your lfs is good but you have to create the spike your self. just put a raw shrimp there.
it looks great though!

Maybe that rock has lead in the middle, just kidding. I do think you need another 15 pounds or so. Looking good. A koralia 1 would be a good addition as well. Have you thought about making a fuge in the back chambers?

looks like a great start. You should get more live rock though.

Probably not. Whenever you see hair algae, pull every piece of it out that you can. That stuff can take over in the blink of an eye.

I wouldn't add any animals to eat it, rather remove it yourself.
