Melonbob's 46g build!

I figured I'd start a post here, and put all my pics and stuff in one thread instead of flooding the newbie section, I have nothing to add at this point, for those who haven't been looking at my threads I'm starting a 46G bowfront. This is my first tank, as so far everything is going well. We have about a dozen snails, three hermits, an emerald crab, two clowns and an anthelia we just dropped in last night. So far its been a great experience!
