Deva, only thing we are using is a skimmer, sand bottom, lots of the little critters(crabs etc) and water changes. My husband is guessing maybe 50 - 60 pounds of live rock. Its a conglomeration of different kinds we've picked up over the years. I really enjoy having the hex because you can get quite a few different views. Give it a try
 
Triggerluv - Why do you think its dirty?? Its not dirty at all, brand new sand bottom only two weeks old, my husband is religeous about cleaning the glass inside and out and we did have a hair algae problem a few months ago but the only algae we have left is what the decorator crab is wearing.
 
JacknJill - Thank you - Believe me it wasnt easy, I went to the LFS and got some of the styro container that they get the livestock shipped in. I rinsed them out really good and filled them with the water from my tank until I reached the rock line then start placing the liverock into the water filled containers. Using the styro's I think worked the best because I was able to spread out the liverock without damaging any of my corals or critters. I used one for "critter" rock and one for just liverock (made it easier for aquascaping). The remaining water I put in buckets (the last 5 gallons I ditched for a water change). Dumped out all of the crushed coral, did a quick rinse and put in the sand straight out of the bag (That was a mistake) I would recommend putting it in a bucket with the water you would use for a water change and let it sit overnight before doing the change. Once I put the sand in the tank I started putting the liverock and water back in the tank. Then after the tank settled a little I added the "Critter rock and water from the other styro. It took about 5 hours but I like the tank alot better with the sandbed.
