I think it looks awesome! It's not a bad thing to have some space along the sides, especially if you decide to ever keep any coral/nems that you want to isolate, you'll have space for a little island

Although LifeRock is not the same as Live Rock, it offers similar benefits, including reduced cycling time. I have this rock in my tank, and it's great. CaribeSea's products are awesome. I'm not sure what you mean by fake, but I hope this answers your question. :)

In my personal opinion, the best rock is live rock, simply because it can speed up your cycling and introduce good bacteria, among other things. One con with live rock is that it can also introduce unwanted hitchhikers, while dry rock won't.

But dry rock is still great, especially CaribeSea's LifeRock, which is what I have. Either way, your tank will still mature and grow all the good things that live rock has. It'll just take a little longer. :)

Some people say using live rock can skip the ugly phases of a tank. However, dry rock is okay to start with since it is more affordable; you can get more unique shapes and avoid hitchhikers

Thank for the info

True “live rock” meaning from the ocean or from an established tank is the best, but also most expensive. “Dry rock” does work but will take longer and come with more challenges. I do NOT recommend Caribe Sea Rock. It is extremely dense and anecdotally lengthens and complicates the “Ugly Stage”. See Reef Bum’s video on YouTube. I used Caribe Sea in my first tank and had much more issue than with Marco rock. My$.02

You can seed your tank by adding at least some live rock. Rock or sand from an established tank will also jump start the process.

I think it looks great and leaves space for corals on the sand such as scolys or small rock islands for gsp or zoas.
