Thanks Chris... maybe I will... I don't have any experience with acros but I might try some easy ones... I do plan on adding a few colored sticks... I'm thinking of Birds of Paradise, 2 more Birdnest type and some colorful monti digitatas...

cool... more money for fish!!!

I think a wave would look awesome on this set up... I'm thinking of tinkering with the MP 40 on short pulse mode to see what kind of wave I can get....

btw, here's two pics I took real quick last night after preliminary aquascaping... it'll stay an open just like this as I want lots of swimming room for my fairy wrasses... I plan on having between 3" - 4" of clear sandbed on each side to continue the clean look...

watcha guys think?

Looks very "Sonny"esk.

Marv, if there is ANY nuisance algae on that rock, now is the time to SCRUB it off. Use a fresh plastic scrub brush, with bristles. Use a 5 gallon bucket of tank water or 2 to rinse before you put the rock back in the tank too. (First bucket as a dirty rinse, next bucket as a "cleaner" rinse, then discard both when done.) I didn't look at the rock that came with the set up, so I don't know what it looks like.
