well not much to photograph, but i do have a question...
the LFS said for me not to put the carbon canister thingy on the filter or the bio wheel on the filter, but to run it till the tank is clear, then wash it out and bring them the filter/bio wheel and they will give me one that is already cycled... you think i should go ahead and put those on anyway to speed it up? here are 2 pics... 1 30 mins after setup and other is 3 hours later... not much improvement...
30 mins after...

Very nice setup. What all are you planning on adding to the tank and what type of lighting are you going to use?

its gonna be a fish only... ill probably 10-20 lbs live rock, and leave the lights i have for now... gonna add moon lights, valentini puffer, just did an orange tailed male damsel, and i traded my biowheel so there should be no amonia in this tank... but pretty much the valentini, maybe another semi aggressive small fish... i dont know lol
the other 20 is gonna get a light upgrade in about a month along with 10 more lbs live rock, and eventually coral and a mating pair of clowns
