I like that you went with bigger rock than most people do. So many nanos with little tiny pieces of rock, not that there is anything wrong with it if you scape it right, its just nice to see some larger pieces in your tank, it looks good IMO. how do you like your Cadlights tank? im thinking of getting the same tank, it will be my first Salt tank, at first i was going to with a Biocube or Nano cube until i found out about Cadlights, i think they look better. Any updates ??
