ive just setup my tank

Much better

 

looking good, makes me want to stop bsing and get my new tank setup. You may down the road wanna pick up some more rock if you can find it cheap locally, lol better to do it now at the start rather than getting a wild hair up your *** and go buy more later to make urself happy again. I love bowfronts so keep the pics coming of the progress

 

Even though you have live bacteria from the rock and sand, there will be a die-off of some of the bacteria due to cycling. It is advisable to get the tank saturated. This is a good live bacteria brand; Marc Weiss Organics Bacter Boost 6oz and another is "Cycle" brand. I add bacteria in my established tank to keep the colonies "blooming" and doing their thing.

 

Looks good so far, let it cycle and even though it's not easy at this point, try to go slow. What do u plan to keep for corals and fish? Do u have a skimmer?

Keep these pics, you will be surprise when you compare them to pics a year from now.
