12 is what 6/7th grade? There were a couple kids in my school that tall and I don't remember anyone thinking they were weird because of it. I got my growth spurt from 8th into 9th grade. I think I went from 5'9" to 6'3" then was 6'4" till college and I somehow grew another 1.25 inches my frosh year of college. Luckily my shoe size has stayed at 13 since frosh year of high school.

Yeah it was 6th grade i was like a foot taller than everyone else felt like a giant you know how kids are just teasing but I was way self conscieous about it, not the type of guy that likes to stand out, plus my parents werent financially able to run out and buy me new pants every 2 months so got the high waters which I hated. Just one of lifes little lessons I guess. Ok im done talking about out heights until you POST SUM PICS!

Today I added a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp and 6 Turbo Snails. Week by week I add a piece or two and things look better and better. If only the camera my dad gave me wasn't a camera that only took short videos I would have pictures by now.

Do you guys like how I used the panorama view to make my 46 gallon tank look larger? Maybe I should enter that CaribSea Tank Contest or just a trick photography contest.

Here they are!!!! A crappy video of my tank after I added Purple Up and it's all cloudy. I have never used this Point and Shoot camera before so bare with me while I get better. There is a decent close up of the large cave in my rock on the right side. My True Percula Clown makes an appearence too while my B+W and cleaner shrimp stay hidden.

I am guessing you are saying it doesn't look like enough rock. Um, the rock pretty much goes up halfway in the tank. The problem is that the rock on the left is quite large and is incredible looking in person. It would really look bad if I put rocks on top of it because there are so many cool holes the fish go in and out of. There are 60lbs of rock for the 46 so I am almost am at 1.5 lbs per gallon. I may add another piece, maybe 6-7 lbs in the back right to go behind the largest rock. I think once I have corals it may add some more height to the tank.
