    THe pictures are a little cloudy due to me placing the rocks. I plan on having 4 or 5 reef friendly fish and created two caves. The larger one is live rock lined. I tried to keep all of the rock in direct light for coral growth. I have plenty of smaller pieces of rock that i can frag pieces of coral to. None of the rock is touching the class and my magnetic cleaner has clearance. I made sure that the rock is sturdy and will not be moved easily. Please let me know if you see any major flaws. I would rather someone point them out now before the tank is established and i have coral in place. If i could redo it, i would have waited to put the sand in before adding the rock. I had to dig down so that the larger pieces were touching the bottom of the aquarium and that stirred everything up. Lesson learned.

    Cool 'scape. I dig it. Plenty of real estate for corals.
    I don't see any flaws, but you may want to think about smaller profiled pumps eventually.

    Will you get good flow through the caves and rock? How much space is there between the highest rock and your lights?

    The big cave is accessible from the front and side. I went a bit overkill with the circulation pumps and the tank has great circulation. The top rock is probably to close to the lights. I will have to remodel a bit. Thanks for pointing that out.

    Flow is important so just watch the caves :0) No problem seen unless you don't move the top rock :0) Looks great for having lots of corals! Good job!!
