Theres acually not that much rock touching the glass. Although I think 45 lbs was slightly too much. Waiting for the rock to get more color its still pretty white.
As for the rest of the tank i made a fuge for the second chamber and got my first corals!!! $15 for a colony of about 25 or so zoas!
I don't know if you can tell but my water has become slightly cloudy and its soooo annyoing. I have been doing weekly water changes and all my water levels are good. Slight algae bloom also. The last FTS is tryign to show the cloudyness.

After an hour long battle with my tank i think i finally like the aquascape! My zoas are pissed and my firefish had like 5 heart attacks but i like it much much more!!!! My clean up crew will be here thursday! For some reason the site i ordered from sends 2 days after receiving payment?
It was much harder then it should of been but with such a small tank and so much rock i had to mix some saltwater in a bucket to sit rock in while i moved the big peices. The last pic is the bucket after taking the rock out...diatoms i guess?? :confusion-shrug:

Haha miami is a bit far i think :p I will probably have to order my frogspawn off the internet. Looking into some zoas and rics first though. My zoas are still not happy. Only one or two polyps were open today. I hate my emerald crab for this!
PICS!!!!!!!
