Nice setup man! I like the pvc burrow! thats some good looking LR with the macroalgae

Thank you. Finally someone posted a comment. Live rock came from Florida that I get from a lfs. It is a little pricey though. Do you think I should arrange the rock a little different. I am not exactly happy with the way it looks.

tank looks great! If your gunna rearrange the rock try building it up in the back corners then bringing it across the back and up the sides so you get a " U" shape. Then you can put some flat pieces of rock across the top and make a nice cave for some low light corals as well as provide some shade for your peacock.

Funny that sarge and pepper are hanging out infront of his burrow, wonder when he will start collecting rent.

He keeps an eye on them but doesn't do anything about them. But he is only been in the tank a couple of days.

As far as aquascaping

I have had a hard time with mine trying to get it ready, have re-arranged it a few times.

My 2 biggest pieces of LR have cavity's in them so I put them on the sand bed and they already kinda make caves

My next re-org I am putting a piece of PVC in and then shooting for a pyramid type structure rather than 2 pillars that join in the end forming a single hole in the middle, single pyramid with as many passage ways as possible, this will give me room/lighting for coral attempts.

Hmmmm ...??

Hmmmm ...??

It is a lovely tank!! I am a little confused, though ... aren't those all prey items in there?? The crabs, anyway?? I don't know about the fish, but I'd feel like the crabs would be a sure meal?? But it is a wonderful set-up you have for him!!
