Thanks everyone!
My aquarium has gone from a 46 gallon 'thing' in the corner to a real show piece!

Tank Update.

I in the last 5 months since putting my TBS Saltwater package in...
--I've lost the yellow ball sponge
--The tall red sponge has almost withered away
--Found rogue gorilla crabs (skewered one, the other is still at large)
--The red "scrunchy" sponge on the right is withering away
--The big red sea fan gorgonian died in the last few weeks
++I can still locate one of the two red scallops alive and well
++About a dozen black spiny urchins showed up and have been cruising around the tank
++Hermits and snails are all still cruising around everywhere
++I see more porcelain crabs today than I saw in the beginning
++Big orange sponge still looks great
++Big brown and silver Gorgonians are doing well (in today's picture, the silver one looks smaller.. it's not- it's just tucked in behind the rock pile more).
Tank maintenance:
1 gallon water change daily
Dose Sponge Power almost daily
Broadcast feed BRS Reef Chili about once a week
Carbon and GFO reactors run 24/7
ATO comes in through a Kalk stirrer
NLS pellets fed to fish twice a day via auto feeder
I had zero ammonia when I added my TBS rock and sand. My nitrates have been hovering in the 7-10 ppm range for the entire time.
Despite some of the losses, NO REGRETS in getting TBS rock and sand!!
