    No i dont really plan on having any SPS. Only just a few leathers, shrooms, zoas and an anenome. But thats future wishes, a long ways and time away. I just added the 10 pounds of sand. It looks much better with a deeper substrate, im guessing its about 1.5" maybe. I also added a few pounds of live rock, Im assuming i am going to have a bit of a mini cycle but thats ok since i wont be adding any livestock other than CuC for a few weeks. Even though i thoroughly washed the sand, the tank still seems to be fairly cloudy. I did a small water change (I know i shouldnt have since im still at the end of my cycle and it only prolongs things..... but it was just tooooo cloudy).
