We added another 18lbs of rock tonight... Im thinking we might get another 5-7lbs and build up the left side a bit more and maybe add another shelf to the whole thing but we do want to keep room for corals up there.
Any comments/suggestions? Looks like the airflow is really good, we made sure to keep a good size gap between all walls of the tank too. now just to wait for everything to settle. More pictures as soon as the tank settles

thats great! once you get corals we can do trades and such! mostly all my family here have saltwater tanks so you will have a variety to choose from! lol and also buy frags if you want!

I moved the rock around some more..
37 gallon tank, 25lbs of live rock, 1 false clown, 1 yellow tail blue damsel, 1 sand sifter star, and 6 snails.. oh yea and how do you like my morish idol down there at the bottom lol!

we had two of these guys but we took one back when we feared it may pick on my tiny clown.. this YTBD is very laid back and hasnt started trouble with the clown yet

baby clown.. its soo tiny! I would like to get one more but we will see..

another look

we did end up picking up a heater for the tank too, the temp has had too much of a fluctuation without it being regulated

upon more research were contemplating taking back the starfish too.. I would hate for it to die just because we put it in a fairly new tank. Ive tried posting a thread to get information on supplemental feeding of the starfish but havnt gotten any helpful info back yet. I would take back the YT back but cant catch him lol!!! I even took the rock out of the tank looking for it and couldnt find it.. about 30 minutes later i put the rock back into the tank and the next morning the dang YT was back! lol...

well we took our starfish back... i was afraid it would starve eventually and thats not fair at all. As much as I love the starfish it just isnt worth it. Perhaps we will get a serpent star or something similar eventually. We did pick up a strawberry dottyback today though..pics soon.

almost 4wks, we did catch the damsel and ended up picking up two emerald crabs and one cleaner wrasse... the cleaner wrasse already dug its own hole in the sand and was hanging out there last night. I left before I could see it come out today
our levels in the tank were great!! I love when that happens :)
