My wife doesn't like my bare bottom!
 
So I decided to cover it up.

I put down a very thin layer of Carib Sea crushed coral (just enough to cover most of the bottom). I left the back part of the tank BB.
I couldn't use sand as there is too much flow. Anyway she's happy now. I liked the BB: very easy to keep clean. This looks better though. If I decide to go back to BB there's not much to remove.

And my new acquisitions:

Lamarck's Angel ( she's about 3.5" long and a very pretty silvery blue colour)

I also got a bunch of assorted snails, a few peppermint shrimp and a frogspawn coral. The shrimp are relegated to the sump as the Hawkfish might eat them; and the Harlequin Tusk (on order) definitely will. Also have a Chocolate Tang coming soon. When the Chocolate tang gets here and after QT, I will put it and the SF tang (from the 90 gal) in at the same time to avoid any conflict.

That angel looks even better than it did in the store, you must have got there just after me, the sand sure brightens the tank up, looking good.

Yeah, nice little angel (and supposedly reef safe). She was eating within an hour after going in the tank.

Tank is looking great! How many Bannerfish you got in there? just the 1?

Thanks. Yup, just the one.

Very nice. I love the rock work.

I second that. The rock layout is very well thought out. Grown in that is going to be beautiful. I save the odd FTS to a folder for future inspiration when I'm reading to buy my rock. Yours has been added...

Thanks, so much.
I filed a few of the tank myself when I first set it up so I can see some before and afters.
