Tank picture
Well,, here it is. It's not much for only being three months old.
This is my 350 liter bow front wedge FOWLR. Doesn't look like there is a lot LR in there...That's about 75 lbs worth. have it stacked up in a pinnacle type formation. Which has lots of nooks and crannies for the fish to hide. coralline is growing slowly but surely.

Hello Tauch,
The setup is looking great. I had a question for you. I have had my system up and running for about 4 months. I have barely gotten past the diatom algae stage. How do you have coralline algae starting to grow? Am I doing something wrong because I barely have any green type algae growing. I use a uv 5 watt light and also my tank lights are only 20watts. I have 1 daylight 20w and 1 actinic 20w.

Hooked,
perhaps I should clarify, I didn't mean to imply I was having coralline growing independently. The coralline that came on the LR is spreading slowly....when it starts to grow on the glass I will be really happy. Not sure what algae stage I'm in myself. Between the snails, sea urchin and my blennies They keep the tank pretty clean...
Waiting to install sand-bed I just received the first shipment from pure caribbean....think I'm going to need a little more.
Cheers,
Rob

Rob,
I think it looks awesome very natural aquascaping. Let me know how you like the Pure Caribian arrag. We have a pallet coming this week so I would love any input.
Good Luck!

Who needs inhabitants?? My first tank with LR, I would just sit and stare and think "why not just keep a LR only tank!"
The tank looks great with lots of swimming space, caves, and a sandy bottom! Fish are gonna love it, congrats!

Hooked, I believe the coralline will appreciate a swifter water flow. When I increased the flow rate in my trigger tank I started to get coralline on the glass (of course I didn't want it in that tank). Strong lighting is not necessarily necessary (can you noncommital?  ) ? for coralline growth. fwiw

Hey Heaven...I used it in my tank and loved it. Nice color & particle size complimented the thin layer of Natures Ocean LS I swirled (kind of like a struesel cake) on top.

Renae: I have yet to add the sand but, just from looking at it I think it will do the trick....I'm going to need another 80 pounds. 
to much space behind the rock work???? let me know what you guys think.
Cheers,
Rob

Looks good! I love those corner tanks. Just leave enough space behind the rock to clean the glass. Looks like a great start!

Looks great!...just keep in mind about having water flow everywhere throughout the tank...sometimes diamonds and other add shaped tanks can create "dead" areas lacking adequate circulation..my 2 cents...or a half cent Canadian!

Looks great, Tauch! I love that bow-front design.
Beach Bum...I know what you mean. I have LR, softies and one fish, and he's been in there with no company, so he's KING!
