The reason that you get different opinions is that there is often more than one way to do things. Personally, I go with the consensus. I ask the question (and this is the best place to ask it IMO) and wait to hear what all have to say. Then I process the replies and make a decision on what to do. Usually (not always) I go with what the majority suggest. That's why when you've asked me a question that I've given you my opinion but suggested that you ask the others.
There is such a tremendous amount of experience on this site that it often astounds me. Also, the members are truly caring (something you don't find often on other sites) and want to see you succeed.
You are doing very well. The most important thing that you appear to have already learned is not to act impulsively. It's often also the most difficult thing to do.

Thank you so much for your kind words Dr. Hank!

Looks like progress! The bamboni base rock is interesting. Great idea for the tube worms, but these are also good hiding holes for smaller fishies. I might just have to go find me some of this stuff!

Bluespot, I ordered it at
Oceanpro Aquatics and I'll take a picture and let you guys know what I think when it arrives.

I know that you were a bit discouraged when the rock came in but I think that you're going to change your mind soon. As the rock cures in your tank, all kinds of new stuff will appear. It is also interesting to look at the tank with a red light after the lights go out. It becomes a totally different world.
Before you ask I'm going to tell you how to make a red light. Take a cheap dollar store flashlight, get some red taillight lens tape from an auto parts store, remove the plastic lens from the flashlight, cover it with a layer of the tape, put it back together and you have it.
Now you can see what goes on after dark on the reef. By the way, the rock does look pretty good.

Neat idea Dr. Hank! I'm going to have to try that!
