Most of the rock is suspended although it is hard to tell in the photos.  Lots of open sand bed for the new guy!

So far so good.  I think I am going to put one down there.  It will keep it out of the display.

Too soon to tell.  I had a IM 30w tablet led over it until yesterday.  Whatever sold first was leaving.  The tablet led sold, so I switched to this spare AI SOL white.  Algae was growing fine under  the other LED. 

Its on reverse daylight/tank light cycle.

Updated stock list.  Cortez stingray died.  Cry  A few other changes.  but, not much.  Traded a couple RBTA today for some chalices.  Found a small pink skunk clown to pair up with my large female. 

Also picked up a MP40 to add to the flow.
