I may never leave my office again, lol. This is the view from my desk. It's a good thing I work 8-10 hrs a day on my computer. I added 25 lbs. of Live tonga branch rock from Marine depot Live. I was somewhat disappointed that all of the pieces of branch rock were in the 5" range. There are a few larger pieces but not many. I have not aquascaped any of it. I just gave it a rinse in SW and pulled off the large chunks of sponges,macros, and stuff. Then I added it to the tank. There is a 1.5-2 inch sand bed in the tank. There will be a DSB in the sump with lots of LR in there. It is cycling now.
Remember....this tank is 36" tall. I can't wait to see the seahorses in it. I will be adding macros and the new lighting, just not for awhile. I only turn the light on for an hour or two a doay. It's not needed during the cycle.
