I like it, i keep changing mine cuz i don't like it. Hopefully i found a setup i like this time. Yours looks good, but 20 pounds of LS doesn't look like its going to be much.

hey guys very boring at work today so I figured I would post a little. There are about 3 shelves right now. And alot of arches to swim through. I haven't gotten any really zoomed in pic to show. Tonight when I lay sand and post pigs I will do close ups. I haven't decided on live stock yet. The only thing I know I want are zoos, leather, and shrooms to start. as for fish I don't know maybe some clowns. But I got about 6-8 weeks to decide. Any suggestions on coral or fish?

yes black back ground. i got my LS and put it into the tank. i am waitnig for it to settle and thin i will be putting them up.
MichaelTX what kinda of lights do you have on the tank now?
there are 4 t5ho's. 39watts each.
thats about 5.2watts per gallon. its actullay more because there is less then 30 galllons of water in the tank.
any recomendations on live stock.

your on the upper end so you can get into LPS's aswell like torch and frogspawn corals and candy canes, and bubbles corals. they are pretty kewl. later if you wanted to test the waters you could get some of the lower light SPS corals like plate and montipora/s

I owuld go ahead and set up for a water change to get the ammonia down alittle bit anything higher than 1 can start to kill things off in the tank we want.

I would go about 15 gallons or so to get it down.
I like the lunar lights my next set of lights will have to have lunar lights on it.

will get a 15 gal WC ready for tomorrow. Even though it seams like it is on its way down do a water change? Like I said it started around 4.0 on Saturday. Yesterday it was 1.5... That seems a bit fast no?? I think I might get another spike. I'm not sure. Now is the live stock planning phase.
Thanks mike
