Did Caesar hand polish the edges of the tank, or were they flame polished?

Got some stuff in today! Will post pictures when I get the chance (studying for final tomorrow).
Just realized tank is cloudy today, I've been out of the hobby for such a long time that I really have no idea what is causing this. Thought it was from the dust that my sand kicked up, but it's looking like a bacteria bloom.
Would a bacteria bloom even be possible? considering I only dropped in some live sand / rocks (bacteria) today.
Currently running water through a filter pad, and chemipure elite

nice! How big of a tank are you planning?

Looking to get these!

Ah nice. I really suggest getting an AIO if you can. Depending on what you planned to keep, anemone dispense a lot of waste. And you can't really rely on just the bacteria to keep the nutrient down.
Need a place for filter pad / purigen or Chemipure, and other things to help you filter the water. And I always suggest go as big as you can! I'm already regretting not going bigger hah.

Finally some photos!
Need to work on my photography, haven't done it in a while.. Tank is still cloudy from what I assume is a bacteria bloom
Some anemones
Baby Moonglow Anemone - This came as a hitchhiker in the sand!
Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe this is an Aggregating Anemone also... a bit bleached out? Cause coloration is more vibrant than the other aggregating anemone
And the back of my tank to show filtration.

It's a Oligocottus snyderi (Lime Green Fluffy Sculpin) - name on site.
I think it's pretty hardy, very curious fish too. Always swimming up to the glass when I'm there, I have yet to figured out its diet though. Fed some cyclopeeze and small pieces of scallop but it just ignored it. I grabbed an amphipod from my other tank and it ate it.
gonna get some Mysis shrimp and try that when I can.

found a good link on Oligocottus snyderi at http://www.fishbase.us/summary/Oligocottus-snyderi.html say diet of amphipods,copepods,isopods
Hey Kataro (this is AnthonyI work with Cesar) We actually wet sanded all the edges and then flame polished everything, makes a huge difference we think...

Hey Anthony! Tank is great! I might have to come back to you guys to get the lid cut though. Forgot I have wires running out of tank, so need a bit of room on the lid
Discovered these tonight... I think it might be the Sculpin eggs. That or the Periwinkles
