175 gallon tank pics- Do I need more rock-? Acuascaping good-?

[gtdarock]

Hey guys ! Just finish setting up my 175. I have a 48 in T5 light with six bulbs. A sump/refugium. No skimmer or UV yet. The tank has been cycling for a few days. Any advise of acuascaping-? Does it look good now-? Do I need more-? I think I got about 200 lbs in there. About the stocklist, I am not sure yet. Definitely a snowflake, I already set a PVC tunnel for him. Then maybe a Yellow and Blue Tang,Two Percula's,Dwarf Lion, a puffer,and a Queen Angel.
I think that's it,can I fit more-? Anyhelp would be great !!

I would add more rock if you want a reef, but if fish only, then it looks great. I wish I had the possibilities that a 175 brings... you have to get the regal, yellow, etc... all the fish that smaller tank owners wish they could get! But I love reef... so I would get some more rock IMO. Keep us posted!

It will be a FOWL tank.

Just my 2cents, but I would add a few more pieces, or possibly move a couple of pieces in order to hide the pvc. Otherwise, Great start.

Thanks. Yea, I think I'll cover up the PVC in the middle. I was thinking of adding more, but then I'll take up more space-?

I love the way you have your rock set up, looks great!!! Can't wait to see the tank stocked with fish.

Love it!
Made me think about something I haven't seen yet though. Getting some sort of tank safe glue and rolling the pvc in it with crushed coral. The picture in my head looks sweet. Just an idea. Good luck and have fun buddy.

the rock on the right looks insanely unstable.

 

[gtdarock]

Ok. I will check it back tonight,thanks. How should I check -? Just push down on it-?

 

[renogaw]

rock it back and forth. if it rocks, a fish or snail or urchin or your hand or anything can knock it down. they should not rock in any direction whatsoever.

looks good some day my tank will be up for you to see
