Re: New here!
Firstly GSIMER, welcome to the site...you have defenitely come to the right place to gain some serious saltwater aquaria knowledge. There a TON of helpful articles, which have proved for me at least, VERY helpful. In tandem with the articles, everyone that I have talked to on this site is very knowledgable, and willing to lend a helping hand.
Secondly, I'll say that I personally don't like the idea of having rock stacked up agaisnt the back wall of an aquarium. As stated earlier, it's a good idea to have good flow around all rockwork. The reason for this is so the uneaten food and other detritus will stay suspended in the water column and eventually be taken to the filtration instead of building up on or around the rock, which will eventually lead to declining water quality. Next, I'll agree with what everyone else here has said about the lighting. I'f you're wanting to keep corals and anemones you'll need more wattage....I'd say around 300 watts. Lastly, you asked about water quality. I'll qoute an article here (http://www.livingreefs.com/forums/sa...rs-guide.html), which was found on this site. PARAMETER TYPICAL RANGE -pH 8.0 - 8.3 -ammonia 0 -nitrites 0 -nitrates 0 - 30 (lower is better) -calcium 400 - 500 ppm -alkalinity 10 - 14 dKh I hope this helps!!!
