Post full tank shots here

Thanks. I just added 3-4 inches of sand so I could get a blue spotted jawfish, so it looks completely different. I think I need more live rock now.

i'd let the rest fill in with coral. If you take up too much of the tank space with rock, you'd be suprised at how fast it seems full.

Yeah that's a good point. Does the live rock still do it's job if it's buried in sand?

I'm not sure this will work but we are going to try.

No. Live rock works on the principle that it is a host for beneficial aerobic (oxygen breathing) bacteria that convert ammonia to nitrite and then to nitrate, which either presents itself in the water column, is absorbed by coral, is skimmed out as skimmate, or off-gasses as Nitrogen (in a DSB). If it's buried under sand, you get anaerobic bacteria that don't serve the same purpose. They will however, function as a part of the deep sand bed, and part of what those bacteria do is convert nitrate into nitrogen.

I made some small changes recently and also added more coral frags. I'll try to post an updated pic soon.

tank looks good jared, did you just pick up that yellow tang? looks really skinny

 

[Stray32]

Nah he is my oldest fish actually, I think its just the photo. He is nice and plump.

 

[Tswifty]

Looks great Jared. Gotta love the look of a reef tank when it starts to fill up.
