Congrats on the saltwater tank. We hope someday to get a saltwater tank set up...but that is probably a long time from now. We love to look at everyone else's though.

Cool, we'll start with base rock too when we do a SW tank and cover it with the more expensive LR.

i re arranged it quite a bit too so there is more flow. My nitrites are at 5ppm as of a night ago so im sure they are on their way down now. When ammonia and nitrites are 0 ill do a water change then add some of my first fish.

I've enjoyed watching the progression of your tank, it's looking really good and well thought out.
Nice job.
