Why be sorry, it looks fine to me.
PS, you can get your pics to load directly into the site if you enclose their address wthin image codes i.e.

Or just click the IMG Code button under the pic in Photobucket which copies the whole coded address sequence for you.

Here you go:





The tank looks good from what I can see. The only thing is if the substrate you are using is large grain, I would change it out for some live sand. Substrates with large gaps like some of the crushed coral substrates etc can have areas that trap detritus and cause problems with ammonia build-up.

thanks all. and now i know how to post pics on forums :)
It has not been long since this tank has cycled after my little bro decided to feed fish with 2 full tubs of food and a small piece of chocolate. I don't know what my plans are yet, i have recently upgraded the lighting from 11w to 18w so i will buy a coral of some sort.
My lfs advised me to use crushed coral because of the UGF they said if i had decent water movement it shouldn't be a problem. Only to find now it was a bad choice :sad: but i don't want to change it because it has matured now and i don't want to mess it up.

Kind of a before and after thing.
Before upgraded lighting.

After upgraded lighting but still with chunky sustrate

Now with upgraded lighting and coral sand, filter a bit wonky :shock:

there are still a few bits of crushed coral but i took most of it out only left about a handful in.
