Well here is mine ( not the best picture ), 6 ft 130 gallon. I just kinda stacked the rock lower on the sides and higher in the middle. No real right or wrong way. Some people do it all in the center,others to the left and right and leave the center open, some all to one side,personal preference. If you dont like the way it turns out you can always re-arrange it.

Hey I have a question. I see that your tank does not have any substrate at the bottom of the tank. How does it work for you to keep those coral. I heard that is better to have substrate into the tank for to help stablize the system. And how much LR do you have into the tank because I'm getting a 125 gallon tank and I want ot learned how to do simple mix reef tank, but the problem is don't have experience yet. I asked other people here in this forum. Actualy one of the member here with the screen name teen is been helping me out which I do apperiate her knowledge and learning to understand about reef tank. So I'm still debating wheather I should go with having substrate at the bottom or not. Teen told if I'm going to have simple mix reef tank I should have deep sand bed because it's going to help me stablize the system. Can I get your opion on having substrate vs. not having substrate to have a better understanding why is important not to have or to have.
Thanx for your help

Agreed. The tonga on the left side holding up that flat plateau is great. I'd be afraid that would all come crashing down.
is that driftwood i see? i had some bad experiences with that. it rotted and broke all apart. the copepods liked it though...
there are others on here who can give reasons why it's not a good thing for marine systems
I really like your setup! I love the ledge/over hang that is on the left. I will really have to remember that idea for my tank that I hope to order next week and get the rock in shortly after!!!!
