sweet man, keep up the good work! I wouldnt put anymore rock in, i would just change that stuff around, from the pic's it just looks like you layed it all on top of eachother. move stuff around an make bigger caves an smaller ones. good luck

You cant really tell from the pics but there are some caves and hiding spots. Ill try and take a few close up shots. I do wanna move some around. But the extra 20lbs i got today has nice pink, orange, purple, green, yellow coralline on it. I have yet to see any hitchhikers. Then again its only been 10 days. My ammonia was 0 but now with the new rock im sure its thru the roof again.

It looks fine to me, but since you did ask I'd like to offer a suggestion.
I like my rock stacked higher so it doesn't look like its all in the bottom half of the tank. I read another posting on here, and used the idea, for safely stacking rocks higher. Put 3 larger once in a triangle, then stack a 4th in the center of the triangle, but on top of the other 3. That will help to keep it stable while getting some "height". Make sense?
What do you plan on keeping? Fish only? Reef?

Sounds like a good idea. Ill have to give it a try. I plan on doing mainly a reef tank with a few fish. Do i need alot of inverts?

I honestly don't know the exact number of cleaners I have since the snails need to be replaced periodically, but in my 55 I've got about 15 snails and 5-10 hermits of various sizes.
