Some quick pics/new unstocked tank

[mntl]

This is just a transfer from an old tank, it is a few months old, not uch live-stock, will be all sps accept for the orange zoos that I havent decided wether to scrape or not . The rocks have been with me a couple of years. I posted some pics awhile ago in the nano forum but I have added my starboard. I just got the camera about 4 hours ago and it is my first digi cam so I havent got it figured out yet but this should still get the point across. I'm looking for feedback on aquascaping.

Thanks for the great feed-back, here s some info and equipe-pics.

20"wide/20"deep/12"tall starfire, its rimless and all the edges (front/top/sides etc) have be rounded and polished with starboard on the bottom (made by miracles). A overflow covers the entire back of the tank to hide the second overflow and some equipement (cpr with lifter) that goes to a 10gal sump. I will post some pics of the equipement. It is it by a single 175w se mh in a luminarc III mini, the bulb is a hamilton 14k, I will be switching to a Iwasaki aqua 2 14k soon.

---The tank will be all SPS, specifically encrusting montis on the right side and deep-water type sps on the left. The rocks were cooked for 3 months but this was a couple of years ago, in my first 10 gal nano, they are still very clean. This is a transfer from an old tank, the clam I will try to get a better pic of, is a 3.5" crocea that my wife talked me into . The tank is run by 4 mj 1200 through lockline, with a aqua-c hob filter set to wet-est skim. I like the tank very spotless so I tend to scrape all coraline, no algea is in the display and none has started growing. There are 2 astrea snails, 4 trochus, 2 bluelegs and 1 scarlet for a clean-up crew, otherwise I do 20% wc's a week and nothing else, same as my other nano's. It's a pretty simple system but has worked for me for quite awhile, if anyone has any other questions feel free to ask.

Very Nice!

How about arranging the rock in a "C" formation turned 70 degrees to the right so the opening is to the front but not exactly centered? Make the back part of the "C" a little higher...should look great.
