nice start you might want to try to creat some caves that allow water to pass through the structure so your fish /inverte have a passage and with good circulation less deterious will get into uncleanable areas and get into your filters instead (you may have some caves but i couldnt see any in the pictures) and always make sure your structure is is stable and let the tank cycle and test it as it cycles and once it is done keep a regular testing schedule

Thats going to be a sweet setup!

there are caves and holes, can't tell in the pictures. the wholes aren't huge but big enough for shrimp and some small fish to hide. should i put the powerhead in the back behind the lr to get more flow through there or is it ok the way it is?

 

[kroch3rd]

the stucture is pretty stable. a fish is going to have to bump into pretty hard for it to collapse lol. my tanks been cycling for 3 weeks now.

if it going to be a reef you will want to be able to keep the tank as clean as possible so then you will want to be able to vaccumm behind the rocks or at least direct a powerhead to get some flow to help keep anything from accumulating. turbo snails have a way of wedging themselves into places and moving rocks so stability is important

keep testing depending if your rock was cured already a fish or two may be possible in a week or 2 and if the rock was precured at your lfs and your test results are good a small hardy fish on your list could be added now the least aggressive too

what kind of light is that?

 

[kroch3rd]

it's a coralife 2x65w pc, i plan on switching to a reef in a year's time and i will upgrade to a better lighting system. i only plan on doing zoas, mushrooms, and an anenome

 

[kroch3rd]

will i be able to keep a reef with the equipment i got?(filters)

three things that will make a huge diff and dont get me rong your tank looks great just trying to give a little hand. First get a aump and get rid of the emps. second get 2 250w MH's 14000k and thrid more LR
