    it looks pretty good to me.
    one thing that i loved doing for my tank is making it the most uneven as possible. For my 10g I had the same mountain, but ended up changing it so it would slope to the right. It kinda worked out nice.

    when aquascaping, all i think about now is Depth. :p

    I tried the 2 island thing but there is just not enough length to the tank for that. I think maybe once this is covered with coral it will look good. Even tho its the dreaded wall o rock.

    I think it looks good. All I was worried about with my rock work was making sure the rocks weren't going to move.

    Two island didn't work? What if you tried one larger pile on the right kind of in the back and a smaller pile a little in front on the left. It's tough to get it just how you like it!

    Too true! Or try a 38 gallon. Same as the 55 but a foot shorter LOL.
    I don't think it looks too bad.
