Where we stand today. Tried to balance my need for overhangs, caves, and negative space. There's a fairly large empty area in the middle of the tank but it's been tricky to capture it on camera because of all the overlapping rockscape.

Next Steps:
1) Add a RBTA to balance out all the green
2) Add some red/orange/yellow mini colonies to balance out the greens
3) Add a small yellow tang & red fairy wrasse
4) Get my buddy's skimmer ASAP
5) Upgrade the light ASAP. AI Prime HD isnt providing enough coverage for the 2x2 footprint
6) Tweak lighting to take better photos lol

Thanks for stopping by!
