I bought 300 more lbs of LR i got it for less than $1 a lb. The reef gods were def shining down on me. there is room to put future coral now!
and re aquascaping this reef to be was a pain, but i like it now. I got rid of the humu trigger and grouper, and got a black durgeon trigger. now for some small fish!
The rock used to be all in the back, now it comes to the front glass in spots, with lots of caves and such. i think it looks more natural.
Tell me if you think it looks better please.

tell me if you think it was a good descision.
 
yup, im unemployed and 17, so its amazing the tank has come this far, i needed to be really crafty,

and yes i need to start getting coral. but let me get some feeding shots and you will see every color in the rainbow!

my fish:
black durgeon trigger
niger trigger
naso tang
yellow tang
hippo tang
vlamingi tang
kole tang
orange spot rabbit
flame angel
bangaii cardinal

want to add
Anthias harem
what other small fish? i havent done small fish in ages! lol
 
thanks for the idea, but first of all, an acanthurus tang is out of the question for my tank, just not big enough and too agressive for all the other 5 tangs.
also, i am really already too full as far as big fish go! lol its not freshwater ;)
 
i think the second tank looks much much better. Awesome job!!!
 
Much better , really nice ! but Just IMO you need i little more colour in your rock/ coral work , i know you have said that you will be getting some more fish and going to start on the coral , so when you have done that and got more colour in the tank its going to look amazing . I know nothing about saltwater tanks so i cannt really help you much on fish and corals but if i did have your tank i would try and go with the most colourful stuff you can get your hands on .
