Ok so here is a shot of my 90g system so far.. Don't mind the mess I just fed everything a couple mins before taking the picture..

Incase the picture won't load, I've attached it and it is uploaded to my profile along with a bunch of other tank stuff. :)

I have 3 more pieces of LPS on my stocklist to get, a torch, a frogspawn and a hammer. After that maybe another candycane for the top of the rockwork on the lefthand side of the tank.

OOO I like that! Did you get your rock from ReefCleaners? It looks a lot like their rock. You should take a long piece of PVC and poke it down in your sand and wiggle it from side to side to get those air bubbles out.
 
Thank you for the kind words. :)

Pretty much all my equipment besides the tank and sand came from Bulk Reef Supply.. The rock is ReefSaver and the sand came from my local petsmart, it was the only place (local) with 30lbs bags of dry sand I could find, everyone else only sells live sand... Yea I know about the bubbles.. Figured they would have settled out by now.. I'll get rid of them on saturday when I do my tank clean.
 
Idk what causes those, but I have had my DSB for like a year now and I have to do that like 2x a month (with waterchanges). Another tip on DSB, if you take a fish net and run it through the sand you can collect broken pieces of rocks and corals and stuff and it will keep your sand clean and looking nice. Oh and it will keep that nasty crap from forming on the glass below the sand line. Keep the Photos and progress coming!

Another thought, are your rocks sitting on the glass or on top of the sand? If they are on the sand they need to be pushed down to the glass because the sand will shift out from under the rocks and cause a nasty tumble.

It's not a DSB, well not intentionaly. It's a shallow 2" bed but alot got pushed around when I had stronger powerheads in the tank.. Again will lvl it back off when I do my tank clean this weekend.

My sand went in first, then the rocks, but I did push them into the sand until they hit bottom. The reef saver rock actually went together really nice, I was impressed with how it stacked so easily and firmly without the need to putty or epoxy.
 
Looks nice. You should take photos and compile a timeline. I look back at my early tank days and am just amazed at how much has changed, from coralline growth to how I changed my landscaping.
 
None of the corals I have bought have been on frag plugs.. Either bare stalks or bases or growing on a hunk of live rock like the zoa patch.
