    Thanks :) I had a lot more rock than I realized haha, I still have a few more pieces that I might add so I might end up changing it a little bit but I like it! there are tons of little caves for the fish to swim in and around.

    Very nice scape, congrats, should make your inhabitants happy and give you plenty of places for coral.

    Try to create lots of hiding places and caves, I find that the more secure fish feel, the more inclined they are to come out and swim. With few hiding places they just stick close to whatever caves they can find.

    There are so many caves in there, I plan on making more when I put the final few pieces in. I think there is plenty of little caves for them, I might need to make some bigger ones tho.

    The scape looks great so far! If it were mine, I would move a few rocks around and make two separate little "islands", instead of rock all the way across. Check out saintsfan's build thread, you can get an idea of what I'm talking about.. Just a little suggestion! :)

    I thought about doing that but I have too much rock! I have a lot of little pieces.. I should probably move some into the sump.. I probably will do that actually.
