Only a week old and an angel already? Whatch your water peramiters closely and do a water change asap w/ that angel in there. And you could use alot more live rock.

If the LR is not cured, then you cannot add a peice to the tank else it will crash. Ask your LFS if the rock is fully cured. Many times it is and then it is safe to add.
Tank looks great!!! Love the stand!
The tank looks to be glass as acrylic usually does not have the corners like that. An easy way to tell 100% is to take a peice of metal and try to put a tiny scratch in it. Like in the area behind the cabinate at the very top edge where nobody will notice it. If you can scratch it easily, it's acrylic. If not, it's glass.

Yes the tank looks great. I personally would take out the decorations, adds no benefit to the tank, high maintenance and takes up space needed for the live rock.
In that tank, I would have 200 or more lbs. of live rock. Angels need alot of live rock to graze on. And it is a wonderful natural filter.

kind of a silly question...but i honestly have no clue...how can i tell if my tank is glass or acrylic?
Are you sure the tank is 120gal. A standard 120gal. around here is 48" x 24" x 24". and a 150 gal. is 60" x 24" x 24".

the stand took me about 3 or 4 months on and off working on it....i actually had a smaller tank to begin with.....it was more of a 100 gallon...and only 12 inches wide....so i originally built the stand for that, and completed it, but when i saw how nice the stand looked, I wanted a bigger tank, so i ripped the stand apart and made it bigger haha...and now it looks awesome im really happy with it...i painted it the 2 tones with the white trim to match my walls...
it looks great in the room, i built it when i moved...here it is from the other side..
