Pictures of reef tanks

I ordered 40 lbs. of live rock today for my 30 gal. and, I guess I just don't really know how the live rock should be stacked up and how it should look when I get it and set it up. I was hoping someone knows where I could look at some pictures of some reef tanks, so I can get an idea.
Also, should I stack the rock against the back wall, or should I leave space so I can clean the glass?
Thanks in advance!

If the tank is up against a wall stack up the rock in a stadium bleacher like fashion using the back glass for support. Try to make terraces. It is to much trouble trying to clean the back glass in a reef tank. Let coraline build up on it. The only glass I clean in my tank is the front glass. I let things grow on the other three sides.

I agree. Let stuff grow on the back and sides. If nothing else it is food for the inmates.
When you are stacking the rock remember to make holes and caves for the fish to swim through and hide in.
