Looks good! I like the aquascaping. What's the ratio of base rock to live rock?

 

[space_geek]

Thanks a ton AW2! Believe it or not, I just did that aquascaping today, and I like it!! I am not sure exactly how much rock I have but I'd say about 120-130 pounds total. I have about 80-90 pounds live rock and about 40 pounds base rock.

Nice shot of blackcap (focusing on him...sorry for the blurriness of other fish)

Just a nice community shot...

I am not sure what other fish I want to put in this tank...if you all have any ideas on what you think might look nice...please let me know! This will be a reef...just waiting to have all my fish first so I can totally focus on inverts.

Does that work? Should I buy some of that "purple up?" And scrub with what?

 

[space_geek]

All right, I'll share the secret.

Go to your local wal-mart and get a fiberglass striping brush from there paint section. Turn off your filters and scrub like nuts. Dose with strontium every now and again. Keep your calcium around 400. And the bigest secret in getting purple coraline is to.....
