I am comtemplating a huge tanks change right now i have about 200 lbs of LR and it is a predatory reef but corals never keep my attention for long and am thinking that i want to remove almost all of my rock and all the corals in favor of a fowlr with only true display pieces of rock
My tank is a 135 gallon with 40 gallon sump, heres a pic of it

One of my thoughts is that i will give my fish plent of more space to swim, especially my blue throat as i would like to add the female sooon
What do ya think give me the pros and cons of lots of rock vs. a barren tank (Don't count biofiltration that too obvious)

Well it's just my opinion but I think a few mushrooms, Zoo's or polyps in a large predatory tank just adds the final touches. Just a few though . Spred out on the rocks . It just make the tank look a little more realistic to me. A few inverts such as a star fish and maybe a few larger crabs also add to the look. but just a few . Too many ruin the look and make it look crowded.
Hope I answered the question .

i still have a decent amount of liverock in my 205..just enought o have two huge caves for my shark and fish and also enough to pile it to the top of the tank over the caves. This IMO gives fish alot of open swimming space and also alot of cover,,best of both worlds. I also have 3 good size rocks of shrooms in my aggressive and plan to add some polyps as well. i have three starfish(they dont eat my shrooms their always ont he glass and evan if they do who cares) two HUGE zebra turbos a nice strawberry hermit and other various hermits.. i love the look of my tank, i hope this gives you some kind of ideas
