Oh and I just realized that you said that was 4 1/2 pounds of live rock...nice. Was it all one piece, I need to figure out how to do something like that in my tank

Thanks all!!!!
It is one large piece I have added a bunch of branch rocks around it to keep the theme. I am looking to get either a frogspawn or hammer next for the Clown, I tried to have it host the Toadstool with no luck. I am running with about 10 lbs of LR now. The fuge in the back is really helping things. Demartini your tank kicks ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did you add a light in the bak chambers to make a fuge?

wasn't to hard. The back of the tank is all glass with black paint on it. I measured out a spot and scraped it away with a razor. With my fine craftsmenship I constructed a box out of wood to fit over the "jole" I just made. I lined it with tinfoil and added a 9w PC light. It was meant for under cabinet light but works great for growin chaeto. Next I lined the box face and the tank with velco and attached it. I took out most of my LR rubble left a few inches of it dumped in a bunch of chaeto adjusted my water level so that It was fully submerged and bingo fuge completed. Now heres some pic to help out!!
