Welcome to the Sanctuary. There may be a few folks here that can help you, must of us just hang here cause nobody else wants us. Welcome to the land of misfit reefers.

Welcome to RS. Ask away and you shall get answers.

And the LFS did call and let us know you would be coming. He was pretty sick of talking to you.

Welcome to RS!! Tell us some more about the tank. How long has it been set up. Are you planning on more rock? You've got less than half the amount you need. Let us know what you want to know. Again, Welcome!

Welcome! I have to second Greg on the live rock. I can't over emphasize how important that 1 to 1 1/2 lbs per gallon rule of thumb is. Also, you didn't mention how long your tank had been set up or what type of anemones you have but keep a close eye on them. Most folks don't recommend adding them until your tank has been stable for at least 6 months. Many say a year unless it's a bubble tentacle anemone.
