i put the pics up for you. what you have to copy is the first link. and then just paste it on here

love the rock work. but i would put some movement in the water surface. move the nozzle a little to make it to the top so it can get water movement up there.
everything else looks really great

ok. as for the pump well the return pump try getting a maxijet 900 or a 1200. replace the stock one. as the stock one always is bad.
for the suction do you mean from were the water enters the chambers in the back? the wholes? if so its not supposed to have that much. since the water levels in both sides are the same.
your water temp is good. but 76 is like what most reef tanks are at. but your ok.
for your heater. try switching the sticky things lol.
for LR try getting more. but it all depends on you and how you want the aquascape.
as for the tester. i bought the one they have in my lfs. so i guess the one they have thats for marine will work.
caves
fish love caves! lol
anything else i might forgotten?
or and remember move the nozzle so your surface water can get movement and wont look like that.

aright sounds good, i didn't know i needed another one for my current.. i thought it was a complete full set of what i needed.. i know the stock pump i believe is upgraded from previous owner.. however it does not have as second pump.. where should i locate the second one and pointing towards what?..
i will look into this Koralia 1 .. is there a specific power i need?.. im running a 12gal nano again for the late comers.

lol. yea a koralia 1 or koralia nano will be perfect! maybe others will tell you which one to get! and if you get one of them locate it in the other side in the top middle or back facing towards the middle.
and no there is no specific power head you need. but the Koralia are the best for wave movement!

haha i will... i would have 2 take it out though, so unfortunetly its at the office.. i can ask my buddy what it was.. lemme text him now..
a BIG question i 4got to ask is.. what do you guys do for power problems
Example: Power Outage!
That means everything off *heater/pumps/filters.. everything.... how do you guys handle problems like that.. (not that it happens thaaaaaaaaaat often here in so-cal) but ---- happens.

and another thing, you guys told me to turn the lights off during the cycle.. .so i unplugged it from its timer and just put it in a regular socket and turned the ligths off.. they will be off for the next 3 weeks minimum.. if not longer. this isssss what you guys told me correct?..
i had a litttttttttttle tiny star polyp i believe growing on some of my rocks.. VERY VERY little.. will the NO lights for that long period of time kill its growth? or the lights have nothing to do with it at all.. sorry for these stupid n00b questions.. ill catch on sooner then later hopefully.
