You think there is enough swim space ? Sand space for corals ?

Having rock taller will allow you to plant your corals at different heights based on their lighting requirements. Some prefer more, some prefer less.

It looks good. What size tank? I know everyone likes the lights on even through the tank has nothing inside but turn it off while it is cycling other wise you will increase the algae

I'll have to cross that bridge when I get there - I don't wanna add too much rock either.. maybe I can stack another rock on the right side to get some height

Why don't you want "too much rock"? I wasn't aware that was a thing haha, unless you're speaking strictly about aesthetics.

Gotcha. I enjoy seeing them darting in and out of rock work. Sometimes I'll see a fish I forgot I had and I get excited hahah

I have a beautiful Tomini Tang. He's pretty shy, but on the occasions I do see him out, wow.

Some minor updates as of today (4/7/19)

When should I add my Bio-spira?

Added two pieces of my brothers live rock very tiny pieces
I have added my marine pure tablet to the middle chamber (no pictures)
Tweaking my protein skimmer.. need some advise

Are the bubbles at a good location in the neck? Is the water line good for this skimmer?

Make sure to turn off filter and skimmer when you add biospira I’d add it ASAP

Should I keep my power head on though? What's the point to turning the filter & skimmer off?

Shouldn't I let my rocks cure a little?

Well your rocks are curing over time you need to have skimmer off cause it basically kills off bio spira same with the filter it breaks it down you want to stleast has it off for two days

Also I’d run the skimmer once you have fish in there let the bacteria build up the skimmer removes it

So you're saying kill filter and skimmer add bio spira why the rock is curing ?

That model skimmer has a water line marked on it and you have up a 1" play on it. For now close the air to the skimmer until the water in the skimmer is bubbling just below the neck in the collection cup.
