    I just recently tore my tank down because it was not the way I wanted it so I decided to dump 8 - 9 inches of sand in it, take the rocks off the bottom, and throw a bunch of jawfish in there.
    I had to do a few modifications to make the tank jumpproof  so I took eggcrate, covered it with fiberglass screen and threw it on the top. I also threw some gutterguard over the overflow slots to keep them out of there as well.
    Then today I received 7 of the little buggers from saltwaterfish.com. Also got some macroalgae to spruce it up a bit.
    1 of em failed to survive acclimation so I'm down to 6. I just threw em in the tank after 2.5 hours of acclimation so right now they are just relaxing in the corners of the tank except one industrious individual who decided to act quick and grab apiece of prime real estate in the middle with a nice tree in his backyard.
    Anyway, here's a quick pic of the tank. Ill post more over the next few days.

    Is that an optical illusion or do you have rock glued to the back??

    That's kind of what I was thinking to but figured I must just be tired or something.

    it was a time sensitive order, otherwise i would have.
    well 1 is dead and another has a swim bladder prob so ill have 20 bucks store credit to still use at swf.com
    they are yellow head jawfish. bluespot would have been nice but they require 1 meter of territory per fish plus they arent cheap

    Wow awesome tank! Also really love the mag rocks. Endless possibilities with those. One question I have though is what are they made of? Actual rock?
