Thanks everyone!! I really love my tank, even though parts of it drive me crazy at times LOL I especially love my rocks - the combo of the pukani arch and the really big amazing rock on the right side are just so cool! I think I'm just going to start letting stuff grow out now and begin to cover the rocks.
Brittany, I do plan to add black sand in the near future. I've been spending money on coral and fish and really need to pull back and spend June buying dry goods instead - sand, more salt, another powerhead, a new filter for my RO/DI. I also want to add supplemental UV LEDs, but may need to wait until July for those. Anyhow, sand is coming soon. My biggest thing right now is that I want to get all of the crap off the bottom of the tank before the sand goes in - I think most of it is actually particles of rock that have fallen apart rather than detritus. I've been doing my best to siphon as much out as I can whenever I do water changes, but then a fish swims through the rocks and kicks up another cloud of it. I swear I have some rocks in my tank that must just be dissolving, I dunno! I'm now at the point where I think I'm just going to put the sand in on top of it, because siphoning doesn't really seem to make a noticeable difference.:dunno:
