when the rock is placed ontop of the sand, the sand underneath becomes black. if the rock is put on the bottom of the tank then the sand, the rock under the sand becomes black. as long as the rock formation is sturdy and doesnt wiggle, it should be fine. with enough room away from the front and side glass for cleaning and growth.

I have learned to keep the rock on the glass and add the sand around it. I have had a few diggers and over time you can see the rock falling..
If you will never have any fish or creatures that dig, then this looks fine.
Also, when placing it, if it feels unstable to you putting it in, then you should add a reef rock epoxy of some kind. I like the putty.
\Cheers

thanks | Looks good. I have a cave like that too. My fishes love swimming through it. Gives them good refuge when they are spooked or shy too.

It looks nice. But I always try to have as little rock in the sand as possible. It always seems to work best for me. I only use the base rock as a pivot on the bottom and put it all the way to the bottom of the sand. I would be interested to hear opinions on that.
Otherwise, I like the looks of it. | |
