Update: I had my beautiful baby boy on May 5 at 7:09pm after 8 hours of Labour and delivery. So as you can imagine ive been pretty busy
 The day before yesterday we went on our first family trip to the town over to pick up a few things and to check out the lfs. They did have LR but only a bit left. I picked up the nicest piece they had. The LR is covered in green and red coraline, sponges, some red fuzzy fat tree looking thing (looks pretty cool), covered in pods and shrimp and I counted 3 worms. It does have some nuisance algae but it has started to go away in the short time its been in my tank. All other life is doing very well and hopping around on their rock and surrounding sand. I also recieved some dragons tongue macro algae for free from the manager of the lfs. It was pale pink and it is now colouring up nicely. The edges are getting orangie dots that fluoress (sp?) under my lighting. Tried taking a pic but my camera doesnt get it. I am now looking for more macro algaes so, keep an eye out for my begging in the classifides section

That liverock looks pretty established. I dont think you're going to get much of a cycle until you start adding fish for some waste production.
Yes that is aptasia in the last picture.

Or maybe the good looking clowns they have there ??? what do you think. fish or cuc first?? or both? as for the little apaista .... GRRRRRRR!!!!!! So far it is the only one ive seen on the LR so im going to try and blast it with some scalding hot water with my pipette. Ive seen it work before on another tank in another thread. Im hoping it will work with mine otherwise im off to order a pepermint shrimp

BAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
so i just finished precision blasting with hot water on the apaista. I did 3 good squirts with a full pipette which fit completely over its tube and entire body. I cleaned up my materials and came back to check. I guess pods and shrimp like the smell of cooked apaista because they swarmed the area and ate the remnants. HAHAHAHA. Totally awsome to see.
