I like it but IMO if you have a skimmer I would ditch about half of that rock. I guess its just taste.

I know for sure that half of it is fiji live rock, because half of it I bought the other half was already in the tank when I bought it. I'm not real sure what I'm wanting to do with it yet as far as corals go. Right now I just have money to do maintenance, so I figured it wouldn't hurt it to sit for a year or so before I start stocking my inverts. I say a year, it just depends on how long I'm jobless, hopefully not a year lol. The LR was not mainly for filtration here, I like the wall effect to go atleast 3/4 of the way up the tank, besides I don't trust this skimmer as much as other prizm owners do. This tank has changed alot since this pic was taken, I don't have the means to take good pictures of it as often as I'd like.

When I can get a camera, lol. That picture was the best one of an entire roll of film. Hopefully I'll get my digital camera for x-mas, but I doubt it. I'll try to get some for yall though.

Well, I plan on keeping every bit of the rock, and if I can find room I'll put more in it, lol. However coming sometime this week I will be moving the aquarium....:yes:...about 5 feet, lol. I'll be moving it from the corner of the room to the other side of my closet door. I'm moving it for two reasons. The first is so I'll have room in my 150 gallon, yeah buddy, and the second is that I have room in my closet for a oversize fuge and sump and then I'll just plumb it through the wall. Anyways guys, here is a pic of my tank (still blurry) with the rock as is. When I move it I'm gonna take all of my rock out and lay it out on a tarp and see what I have, maybe I can build my aquascape up better to give more crevices and still have good room for some softies.

OOOH OOOH, here it is when I first started cycling it. I definately would have done things differently if I had known what I know now. I just now found this pic laying on my desk, was very surprised at how dirty it has gotten, lol.

Not in my room, I still live with my parents. I had some hanging in my shop before I sold it. I have a bunch that I had in my dorm room, but they are all rolled up in a tube in my closet. Even if they were up it would take me a month to get the picture on here, all of these picture on this thread are over a month old. I could try to, but I'm about to move the tank, so I might try to place a certain decoration above the tank after I move it.
