too much rock?

[beginnerreefer2003]

hey guys HARDSCAPING IS HARD i’ve been fighting with the tank and the rocks to try and make it look nice and I think i’m okay with how it looks but now im wondering if it’s too much rock? I’m also intending on eventually adding a bta and am not sure if there is a suitable spot for it now (I know it’ll wander around until it finds a happy place but I want it to have options)

Yea I ended up smashing up a piece but now i’m regretting it
OH WELL learning is all apart of setting up the tank- now i’m just waiting for this cycle to hurry up and end so I can finally add some livestock but it’s taking foreverrrrr

I think you're probably saying this jokingly but in the case that you're not, Never be in a hurry in this hobby. The forum is full of posts about all the bad things that happen in a hurry.

With that being said, I also hope your cycle is over soon so you can enjoy the best part of the hobby..... adding livestock! HAHAHA

I'd bet a TBS shipping fee that you don't have too much rock - 99% of the time, newbs have too little.

And yeah, be patient. Think of building out a reef like surgery - be patient, pay attention to details, and don't go cowboy/ off-script unless you really know what you're doing or disasters will happen.

Just a general comment-- keep rocks enough inches away from the glass to allow a scraper to get through; it will also help with flow. Best wishes.
