I like the way you set up your rock...How did you get it to look so purple?

Nice rock work!
Keep an eye on the anemone. I don't think you have enough lighting for it in a new tank. It can be done though, just watch it.

Thanks guys!
Its not really a new tank. I transferred some of my 58 to the nano...so it was established rock and water...but i am aware of the risk anyhow...
Im not sure how I got the rock so purple...i don't add any chemicals...and the only thing i do is weekly water changes...so maybe it has something to do with my water quality.

I just installed the NVM moonlight fix so now my daylights and actinics can be run on a timer while the moonlights are running 24/7 on their own power cord.
Now I need some ideas on something to add to my tank that is blue...
I want to add some blue cause my corals all green, red, orange, purple, white and so on...but no blue!
Also, for those of you that run the sponge in the back compartment of your cubes...how do you clean them so that nitrates don't hurt the tank and how often?
