A few pics, added the rest of the rock and sugar sand and aquascaped.




Wanted to go with a single mound in the center to maximize swimming space, I plan on getting a smaller tang (Yellow or Scopas) eventually. Right now the tank is cycling and getting a bit or diatom growth on some of the rocks.

I've heard fiji purple bulbs are algae magnets although they really make the colors pop. Should I swap out one of them for something else?

Lights are good, I changed out the fiji purples for super blues. No fish yet, 7 snails, 1 hermit and a couple of corals from my 20gal. You'll have to come and check it out one of these days.

So after adding my 6 new snails on Sunday, tested my water again today. Ammonia spike (0.2ppm). Hopefully this kick started my cycle because it never really happened earlier. Decided to come up with a possible stocking list,comments, suggestions, good or bad...
Kole tang
Green or yellow coral goby
Sand sifter goby (will come out of my 20gal if I can catch him)
2 Zebra dartfish
Royal or blackcap gramma
Blue forktail
Some type of fairy wrasse
My 2 ocellaris clowns will stay in my 20gal, the female is quite aggressive and hopefully they'll breed some day.
As for inverts...
Shrimp of some kind (skunk cleaner, fire, peppermint or coral banded)
Porcelain and pom pom crabs
A few more snails for clean up
Crocea or maxima clam
My rock had loads of copopods, feather dusters and brittle stars so I'm covered there. After some thought, the set-up will be SPS dominated with a few LPS/softies thrown in.
