You cant really tell from the pictures, but the way I have it set up it really gives the tank the look of having a lot more depth then it actualy has. the right side comes forward as the left side goes back, also ive found if the sand is slightly higher in the back it adds to this illusion also. IMO at least.
Alright, im gonna be on the constructive criticism side and say get creative with that rock structure. Plus, id wait longer than a week after your tank is cycled to add your clowns. My oscillaris didnt exactly "feel well" after i put them in a week old seasoned tank. Theyll appreaciate the wait.

I am trying a few things out with the rock right now. I am pretty satisfied with how the setup looks now. The picture really doesn't do it justice, it looks very plain in the pic, but I assure you it looks much better in person. I could pry use more rock, but for the time being I feel ive spent enough money on rock. As far as waiting to put the clowns in, Ive waited this long... so I guess your right. Not a big deal to give it an extra week since ive waited this long already. Thx for the advice.

imo the more rock the better!!!See when i first started my first tank awhile back ago i wanted all kinds of fish but i bit my tongue and didnt buy one instead of putting money on the fish i put the money on more live rock picked up a few pounds here and there..I still buy some every now and then when they get some really nice show rock i pick it up and when you take a old piece of live rock out and put a new one in it give it a since of change but like i was saying the more rock the better...

I will get more in the future, I'm Just kind of how do you say it... broke. haha. I feel I have the Bulk of it purchased now. I will probably look for just really eye catching peices before i buy any more. And as for the background... It is just a blue cutout. Nothing fancy, just the kinda where the back is black and the other side is blue. Thx for the replies!
