Rock looks nice. What are you using as a substrate?

Black Marine Sand I plan to add a bag or two of white live sand after the rock is cured for a salt & pepper look

I Tried black sand but I found it just absorbed to much light, didn't reflect any back.. went to salt and pepper, then kicked myself in the butt for all the money I had wasted.. finally went to regular sugar aragonite.. no more kicking myself now.

I like the sand.. in fresh water tanks black substrate is a trick to make colors stand out more. some times I wish I would have used black in mine also.

Well I'm going to give it a try. I am not going for any super light corals yet. I have 550 watts of CF light on the tank right now so i'll give it a try. Maybe in a year or so if I find I cant get the light i'll change it. A person has to try
Right now the skimmer is pulling a light "Chinesse resturant coffee" coloured goop

All the live rock was Aquired from Aquarium Illusions ( I left them a few lbs)
