Ok! I've been working on the tank most of the afternoon. The LR arrived around 1PM. Here are some pics of the LR still in the box. When I opened the boxes, I was immediately swarmed by an attack-squadron of hitchhiker gnats. That sucks as they now are all in my house. :wall:...and are still swarming around my head as I type.
Here's some premium Fiji LR. I decided to go with this LR instead of the base rock I originally was going to get along with the Lalo rock.


Not too shabby.
Here's the Tonga Lalo Rock.

:headbang2:
After inspecting and scrubbing down my new rock, it was time for some aquascaping....Hoohaah!
After about 1.5 hrs of 'fiddling' with my tank, I carefully added the 20 more pounds of live sand I also had ordered. I don't care how careful you are adding this stuff to a tank full of water, it still makes a ridiculous mess.

Here's the tank now (about an hour later). It's starting to clear up nicely.
