    Looks good. I'd try to get some more live rock to stack on that to make hiding spaces for the fish.

    maybe a couple of smaller pieces? I was thinking of going to uncle ned's and picking up a couple more smaller pieces, being that I like his live rock a little more then I like the new stuff I got from the lfs is quincy and I can't really do a lot of stacking with the four larger pieces I have. I was going to go with just the 10 pounds (lb per gallon) but it doesn't look right not stacked... lol

    Yep yep... I'm not sure how many pounds that is but a good amount to have is about 1.5lbs per gallon of water.

    yea, the 1st and the 3rd rock are from uncles neds, have so far had the most life on them (so far the aiptasia, sponge, shrimp, some worm looking thing, a couple small snails, and possibly a crab), the 3rd rock looks like it has purple coralline, and they weighed a little over 4lbs total. The 2nd and 4th rock are from lovely pets in quincy, seem to have green coralline on them (I guess you can end up with an assortment of colors of coraline, though I really want the purple..), don't seem to have a whole lot of life on them yet, and weighed a little over 6lbs total. I think I'm going to head out in a few minutes to see what smaller pieces ned's has

    I never paid much attention to his saltwater tanks when I live in MA because I only kept cichlids then.
