I like it, my only concern is the rocks are way too close to (if not on) the side glass. This is not an issue since your tank is so new but once coralline and algae start coming in, you'll hate it. I had to redo my old 29BC since I just couldn't clean the sides and it looked so bad after leaving it for awhile.

thanks for the input. Hard to tell from the pic but i left just enough room on the sides to fit a magnet or a scraper in to clean it. Was a lessons learned from the 12 gallon nano where I had the rocks up against the glass :)

live rock and live sand. started 2 months ago. you can do it though your new rock is so nice and large will be hard to get some live rock in there too.

40-60 lbs of live sand and there are spaces in the back of the cave where I can put some seed rock.
