There is is.. it's not pretty but it's gonna stay that way for a while.. I"ll print out some old pictures and try to get it to the way I had it orginally..
The only thing I like about this formation is I see more places to put coral.

Well everything testeted fine except for the salinity.
My Hydrometer reads my water at 1.022.. the LFS hydrometer reads it at 1.019
the LFS thinks that may be the problem, plus my LFS told me they normally keep their water around 1.025, so the big drop could have done it..
I'll be adding about1/4 of salt every hours until it comes up
I have two Hydrometers.. I'll use both of them to check and see what I got.

So, I just got back from My LFS.
Water tested out ok so I got a few more friends
third time is the charm on the pepermint Shrimp
Got a few more hermits
Couple more Turbos
The big news is I got my first fish..
He's a Yellow Watchman Goby..
He's still a little guy.. but I hope to get a shrimp that he'll bond with in the up coming weeks.
Pictures will come soon when I am done acclimating.

Glad to here you got all your water parameters right. Good luck with the first fish.
I finally got my tank started. This will be my first saltwater tank but i have been doing freshwater for a while now. I have started the process of cycling so it is just time now.
FYI... It is a 55gallon with 25lbs live rock and 40lbs live sand.
When the time comes, I am definitely going to get a yellow watchman goby and pistol shrimp pair. Cant wait.

I just tried to get pictures of him.. When I put him in the tank he hung out in site for a few minutes then took off.. I assume he's hiding under the rocks where I can't see him.
Really? That sucks.. the LFS guy said he isn't to tough just feed 2x a day
Ahh right on.. well I just took 90% of my rock out looking for him, he's not to be found..
I check filtration and the ground and he's not to be seen.. I think he found a little crack in one of the rocks that I can't take out (I put it in first and then pourd the sand it.. I knew I would have burrowing shrimp)
Oh, btw I rearranged the rock again.. this way still isn't my fav but it looks nicer then the previous set up.. I'll have pics when the water clears.

I do have a deep sand bed because I was hoping to pair him with a tiger pistol.. the LFS couldn't get ahold of any so I just got him..
I hope he's just hiding a rock.. I put food in last night I hope he finds some of it..
