its a 29 gal, I plan on adding another 35 lbs of LR or so, Pending when i get this done if theres plenty of room for there "own space" & hiding spots and after I get my sump/fuge setup if my water tests stay good I may add another fish or 2, prolly no more than that I dont want to put a strain on my bio load. All of my fish are pretty small as of now. I plan to do something above 150 gal within the next 6 mon so if they get too big it wont be an issue.

I agree with glampka, get rid of the plants and get some coraline buildup and it'll start looking really good...

You are planning on ending up with 115 pounds of LR in you 29gal tank? (info says 80 and planning to add 35 more) Are you doing this to get ready for your over 150? It seems like a lot of rock!

Turning your flash off on your camera helps a lot to get better pics inside your aquarium. I have also heard that it works to leave it on and put the lens up against the glass, but you would have to have a lens that can focus at that distance (I know mine doesn't).

Tank looks nice; I like the clowns!

Wow I completely forgot how white my LS once was...... and another thing I noticed looking at these pics was the date posted + 6weeks, Thats around 6.5 months running So I will have to be adding some more coral maybe switch up LR work a little and get in the TOTM.
