i like to place mine so that it has a lot of holes for the fish to swim through. that makes it take up more area in the tank also.

I personally had to stack my rock 3 different times before I got it to look like how I wanted it. Just play around with it and try to make sure that there are no peices of rock resting against the sides of the glass on the tank or any peices that are loose and could fall. Make sure all the peices fit together nicely and fairly tight. You could even stack all the rocks on top of pvc pipe to make it seem like you have more rocks than you actually do. Use black or dark grey pvc for this because it is less likely to stand out if you dont cover it completely. Here is a link to a really good site that will help you aquascape your reef.
