Hell yea!
nice tank and very nice custom job on the 10 gallon.
This is actually the BEST custom 10 gallon i have ever seen by far. Algae scrubber, macro, and a filter sock.... wow dude!
while i do suggest a more direct light on the side of the algae scrubber, if its pulling stuff out then no worries. It would be more efficient but i am sure the macro makes up for it.

thanks im working on a direct light solution, that's just the old light setup that was on the 10gal just updated the bulb. my problem is trying to find a good spot to mount the light on this 10gal,thinking maybe a cfl floodlight? the algae filter seems to be working anyway im scrubbing less algae off the glass everyday.
today im going to be getting a 55gal tank from craig's list (love this site) and ill be prepping for the switch, just one question i know i have to get more rock and sand just not sure on how to go curing the stuff.(separate,one at a time?,in my tank now? or put everything in the new tank?)
getting a 55gal tank and stand today anybody able to answer my question about adding live rock and sand

add little bits of the sand at a time. If you cover your live sand with dead sand it will kill the good stuff. So just add a decent amount at a time.
For the rock, if its live rock add as much as you want. If its dead live rock i would only add up do 20% of your current amount of CYCLED LIVE rock.
So say you had 100lbs of cycled live rock. I would only add 20lbs every two weeks.
You may want to do this process a little slower too, because you have some real delicate stuff in your tank.
thanks alot Canuck
Im in the process of cleaning out the 55gal tank right now it also came with lights,hood,an emperor 400 filter(missing parts) a heater and some other decor. whats the best thing to use to clean this tank out really good? Soap+water?

no soap... just water, and vinegar if you need it.
