Hello fellow saltines,

My tank has been up and running for a couple months now. I plan to add softies once the tank matures. I originally just had one rock in the tank and placed it to the right side of the tank. I left the other side empty until I had a better idea of my plans. The more I looked at the tank the more I felt I had to add another piece on the left. I would appreciate some feedback. I have attached the "Before" pic and two versions of the current layout. The only difference between the two sets of pics for the new layout is a little piece of rubble near the back wall which can be seen in the overhead pic of 1b. Removing this little piece of rubble shows a bit more of the sand bed. I added it thinking I can maybe add a coral that is best contained on a rock of its own.

I would appreciate feedback on either layout #1 or #2 or whether this is too crowded. I can always break the rock on the left and place only half of it in the tank.

Thanks in advance for all feedback/ideas.

Thank you! I am leaning toward this one as well. I turned the left rock over and over and around and around for an hour before landing on this layout. :-)
