critique my lr and tank setup, enough flow?

[motlot77]

got a 20g tall and bought 20lbs of fiji lr tonight and want to know what you all think of the aquascaping. i'm going to get probably 15lbs more and stack it up a bit. anything i should change?

also, how is my flow? i've got 2 powerheads in there totaling 200gph, a remora aqua c protein skimmer (hang on back), and a fluval 104 cannister filter used mainly for water flow...a little carbon in it. should i add another head? i noticed the top water isn't stirring up much.

any thoughts? btw...the pic is totally crappy, it's much clearer looking in person.

use the spray bar to the cannister to make the top move a bit.

Looks fine to me. The flow is okay for soft corals. Many hard corals would prefer higher flow. What do you intend to keep?

going to keep lots of zoos, softs....nothing hard right now.

how's the aquascaping? anything i should change? man it's hard to arrange that stuff.

I like the aquasacping. Lots of places for corals! :D

I'd get about 10lbs of nice base rock to add to the 20lbs live you have. Shop around for it, because you don't really need to add it right now.

Let your tank mature, long after "cycle" is over. You can add a clean up crew and feed them, but really you want to let your tank stabalize quite a bit before adding stuff to it.
