Ok guys gotta little update.... im trying to take things slow. I got 35lbs of live rock from my one buddie. Its been in his tank for almost 3 years. I'll put some pics up in the next post. I got some really nice peices. That puts my total rock weight to 55-60 pounds. I think I might buy a coral or 2 in 2 weeks. This is no longer going to be a FOWLR tank its going to be a reef tank.

I think the choice is up to you, like as far as what looks best to you. I forget which one is more white and blue though... but tank is looking great!
