Looks good. How big of a tank is it? Just off the top of my head here, you will have to check with Gerwin and see what he says, you might need a few more pieces of live rock. You want to get all of your rock in the tank at the same time for the most part so that your tank will only go thru one cycle. Just a thought.

coming along nicely Joey,
I would recommend you take out that conch shell or at least break out the end so water flows through it. They have been known to be a source for deadly gas pockets as nutrients go in but do not come out and sit in there and rot.
