Hey Guys, I had this thread going in another part of this site and thought It would go better here.

This is my setup after I just added 55lbs of live rock, and aded the gate valve mod to my ASM skimmer. Let me know what you think of the aquascaping.

Still trying to cycle the tank my current water parameters are

Ammonia: >.25
Alk: 3.77
Phosphate .5
Calcium: 365
Nitrite .5

Any comments or suggestions are appriciated

How long have you had the tank running? Oh, and the rock looks great, how many pounds? And what type of lighting do you have? Hope you don't mind the questions, I'm a newbie and I need direction!!! Thank you.
 
I like your rocks is beautiful. But the pipes and stuffs are a bit distracting. U can by means hide them behind the stones? Maybe u wanna see my setup in my thread in this forum.

Keep it up!
 
Thanks for the compliments. The tank has been up for about a month now. I have 55lbs of live rock, the lighting is VHO 4 bulbs for a total of 300watts. I would like to hide the overflows and what not but, it doesn't bug me that much. I am hoping coraline will cover everything anyway. I will keep updating with pics I am getting my 1st bit of livestock this weekend.
 
try and hide some of the power heads and equipment inside ... kinda distracting ... any sign of good coraline growth on the rocks yet ??
 
The Big rock on the bottom is getting some coraling on it. Everything so far looks good. I haven't had my lights on while cycling the tank. I am hoping this tank doesn't get taken over by algea like my old 75. I added a refugium with macro and some phos ban in my canister filter to help aid that problem. Just have to wait an see:D
 
Alright I added my 1st corals and a cleaner shrimp. Everything is going great so far. Can't wait to get my 1st fish. Added Phos Ban and my phophate problem went away also added macro algea in the refugium

Here are some pics:
