Pics of my rock work

[ScooterPie]

I saw a post on one of these reef boards (forgot which one) where people were showing off their rock work, but I can't seem to find it again. So I figured I'd start one of my own. What do you all think? It's better than before, but still need quite a bit more LR. Any one else have pics to share to help us newbies with some ideas?

Nice rocks, looks like the fishies love the nook and crannies. How long have you had them and how many pounds were the lot?

The tragedy of life is not so much what we suffer, but rather what we miss.

Thanks Jerry. Below is what it used to look like. I think it turned out quite nice this time. It seems like I have much more rock now, although I only added one small piece. If you were asking how long I've had the rock, I've been adding pieces for about 6 months now, piece by piece. I would say I have 15-20 lbs live rock and 10-15 lbs lace rock so far. Eventually I will take the lace rock outta there and add about 40-50 lbs more LR.

It seems like the fish are WAY more interested in the tank now. The Tang can actually go back in the cave to where I can't see him - he seems to love that. The ocelaris, well, he still floats around the top, but the Gramma and Ladder Glider LOVE the new arrangement. Before there were no nooks and crannies for them to go through. I put in an Emerald Crab a few days ago, and still haven't seen him. Don't think I ever will!

I would really like to see everyone else's "rockscaping."

Remember, this is my old setup.

I tried to create bays (sandy areas) for clams and open swimming for fish. Also with a U shaped formation it is easier to form a ledge/ overhang/cave by placing a large flat peice across the back portion once you have the first layer of rocks in.

kevinpo. what gallon is that tank? how many lights are you using?

[kevinpo]

Naser,
It's a 550 with a 75 gal. sump. I have 3 -400W 10K MH's and 4 -95W 50/50 VHO's and 2 165W actinic VHO's.

Here is mine. I like it, but it was luck it turned out this way.
