Without more specifics we will just have to take your word on it. Hard to tell from just a picture. I think you may want to set the tank upright though.

What do u mean by upright? The liverock ? I'm new to saltwater I bought the tank from a friend and he already had live sand and live rock I added the coral and fish.

Sorry I was just being smart because the picture is sideways =P

 

[sonnytree23]

Oh haha you got me thinking I should move my rocks around and stuff haha

I would add a lot more rock. Live rock is your filter. You don't have enough to sustain a moderate bio load.

First of all i Would defiantly add some more live rock and when you say parameters are all ok can you specify test results so we understand your tank a bit better

Well if you are telling him to do it, it wouldnt be defiant!

Okay I will how many lbs u think? And will be okay for 2 weeks until I get some?

 

[saltcreep1025]

The general consensus is between 1-1.5 lbs of rock per gallon.

 

[sonnytree23]

Okay I believe there's 7 pounds in there now
