Welcome Mykro, you will find a wealth of knowledge from these guys. Your setup looks good so just be patient, don't freak out when things start to change most likely it's normal. Search around or ask questions mostly all the answers you will need you can find here.

Welcome! Don't forget to ask a lot of questions!:lol:
The yellow rock square looks geometrically deliberate. Big contrast with the rest of the display. Two ways to view that.

Welcome. Please be sure to ask tons of questions....and make sure you are patient. Patience is the most important thing anyone on here can teach you when starting a new saltwater tank.

Your scape is a good start. Trust me, your change it several times in the beginning (and a few more once you think you it's perfect).

There are several good ones out there. Reef octopus makes good skimmers for reasonable money. Remember a skimmer and lighting are the 2 places you will need to invest as much as you can or you will be buying another one down the road.

Ouch, beware of the tang police.
Never admit to wanting tangs.
Tank is looking good.
