Got everything set up last night! Going to let it cycle and then add to it. I still need some more rocks but its good for starters. My LFS told me to give it a day or two before I add a fish he said since I have so much LS and LR that it doesn't need to wait to long and that I need to add live stuff to keep the LS and LR healthy.

this looks like a great start but IMO the guy at your lfs is just trying to sell you something. dont add anything living untill the cycle is over, some people start adding a clean up crew when its almost dont but thats just going to put unneeded stress and probably even death on what you put in there.

He has owned the store for 17 years and all his aquariums are awesome! Also I don't think he is trying to sell me anything as I have store credit, I do some work for him and he pays me with store credit. I know a lot of people on here say not to put stuff in right away. I'm going to wait the weekend and then have him test my water. All of the rock is live (24LBS) I have about 50LBS of LS, and all of the water was actual ocean water that I got from him so everything should cycle really fast!

The rock looks nice...can you arrange it so there are more caves??
Thanks! Yea I plan on adding more rocks soon, he was low on the ultra rocks so I just went with 24lbs for now plus I didn't want to spend all my store credit all at once LOL. I want to stack the rock up against the back wall, and make some more caves. Not sure what fish im going to go with any suggestions would be cool. I use to have a saltwater fish only a long time ago. Im going with coral eventually in this one.
