Hello, i recently moved my 40 g breeder tank aquascape to my new 60 cube (after my breeder was leaking and I didn't want to reseal it) and I kind like what I have going on now but feel like I need something to add to it and maybe build it up more. I would love any suggestions on how to improve what I havecurrently going on and any suggestions!

Looks pretty good to me, and you can always fill in that top section of the tank with coral growth. . .

That said, if you are determined to add something (and don't want to rip out the current scape) I would probably start by throwing an interesting rock or arch smack dab in the middle, resting on the existing rock work. This would add height to the tank and create a cave underneath. . .

May have to move some corals and may be finicky getting it situated/balanced. . .

Are you thinking there premium rocks? I'm only worried about thinking about all the hitchkikers that could come with it, could I do a coral dip on them possibly to avoid some of the pests or would I need to?

They have acclimation protocols on their website. Explains how to receive the rock and seperate the unwanted.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
