not at all man !

I appreciate the honest advice.

,,,,but if I find out that I really didn't have to do this, I think it's only right that you give me a frag of everything in your tank !!!! lol :wink1:

Ok,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,here are a few pics the updated aquascaping. .

I decided to go with CaribSea Aragonite Live Reef Sand. The water is still cloudy from the newly added sand but it seems to be clearing up by the hour. My goal with this aquascape setup water to create as many caves, tunnels and hiding places as I could, while still leaving room corals to be displayed. I believe that the more hiding places your fish have, the less stress they will endure. I felt like an architect creating this underwater neighborhood.

Here's a few shots prior to adding the sand:
