new setup, new lr, new pic attempt
Here are pics of the LR I got from liverocks.com yesterday. It's 15 lb of Gulf and 25 lb of Keys, with about 5 lb of LFS rock. I'm going to add a few hand-picked branches eventually, but for now I'm pretty happy.
Is that an aiptasia at the top in the "King of the Hill" position?

The tank looks nice. 
Your king of the hill is likely an apstasia. Hard to tell though from this angle.

Thanks, Zack (and lando & fluff). You're looking at liverocks.com rock. I now only have to add a few choice pieces to stand tall in the background to complete the look. There's a local wholesaler near me who is open to retail customers three days per week where I can pick up fully cured choice pieces. Very pricey, but I can get the exact pieces I want: branch!!!!!!
BTW: I had a minimal spike ... .25 ammonia, .25 nitrite. I don't know if it's considered PC, but I detoxed with Prime, just in case.
I'm adding some livestock as I type.
