Thanks to everyone who helped me with my tank, here it is after the CC change. Its hard to see the sand; I didn't realize it was that bright! :) I know I need some smaller pieces of LR to fill in. I also got a Remora skimmer (not here yet but it's on the way). Things are looking good so far! :D Tell me what you think.

That is really nice looking. I love the open look vice packing it full of rock :D Can't wait to see some livestock.

I don't think you should fill it in. The arches and caves look really cool. Then again, I'm not a fan of the "wall" formation of live rock. I think it adds character to your tank when you've got other things going on other than a giant pile of rocks.

Thanks! I only wanted to add a few small pieces so that I could arrange my upper rocks a little better. My x-mas tree rock isn't exactly stable; I need a small piece under it.
I already have the fish, but they are in QT prison right now.
In about 3 weeks my tank should be fully complete including all livestock. Then I can start adding some more fun things! :D

very nice. looks like you got some pretty lr. we just put fish in our 72 bowfront and they are so cute swimming in and out of the caves. Show some more pics when you get you live stock in.

Nice job on the rockwork! It looks like you've got good flow in your tank with all of those powerheads.
One thing I would try to do though, is to move the heater behind the rockwork or to a less obvious place.

I like it - what is the green tube on the left? I can't make it out...
I don't think you need more LR either - when you buy corals that should do it..

Great start! I don't think you need ant more LR either, unless it is to stabilize the stack.
What is the green tube on the left side of your tank?

Thanks everyone! :D
First, the green tube on the left is the intake to my canister filter. I guess I'll wait until I have more things in there and see if I still need a few pieces of LR. My biggest problem is my x-mas tree rock; the thing is shaped really strange and I'm having trouble finding a good spot where it will stay! I was going to fix it to a piece of LR, but I would rather get it to stay by itself.
As far as an earlier question, my tank is a 36 gal. bow; Do you know how hard it is to get good pics with a bow tank!! :rolleyes: Really the tank looks much better in person, not so distorted looking.
And about the heater; that's been a source of debate ever since I got my tank. I would like to hide it more, but then you have the black cord going up the back of the tank. I don't know a good solution.
My Remora skimmer came today! :cheer: Goodbye to the junky Sea Clone!!

If you want to get rid of the seaclone for really cheap keep me in mind. I want to get one for my frag tank.

i like the caves in your rock it looks nice. my shrimp like to hide in my caves. and corals usually come attached to small rocks. i bought a sea clone and was unhappy with it at first but then i figured out how to adjust it and it is working fine now.
