I guess I'm a noob with experience...

This pic is how our tank looks like NOW, but it did not look like this this morning. We basically had everything just laying on the sand in the back, but the wife got that big purple (dry) rock on the right and decided to basically rearrange the whole tank. Still a bit cloudy from the sand shifting, and the front has lots of salt drips, but man the fish are loving all the new arches and caves and stuff. The purple rock in the middle was an aquacultured live rock that we bought when first putting up the tank, and all the rest is the formerly dead rock that we had stored in orange Home Depot buckets for, what, maybe 7 years?

Here's some of our very first corals, courtesy of @Just John. And a bonus pic of the sixline, he's camera shy and this is the first decent (but only decent, I really need a macro lens...) shot of him. Or her.
