Here are some pics of my tank. It's been set up for about 1 month. I have one tomato clown in there with 50lbs of live rock (and 25lbs of LR in a curing tank), 50 lbs of live sand.

If you have any suggestions on what I should do with my live rock and how to display it the best please feel free to do so and help me. It's in a 55G tank and the 50lbs of LR seems to take up all the tank and I still have 25lbs still to put in the tank in the next week or so. I have about 1.5lbs per gallon when the other 25lbs is in.

The maroon clown when it gets bigger might feel like being an a** and knock your rocks over.
 
Personally, i think it look very natural indeed...With the rest of the live rock, i would fill each end up with it, giving a sort of valley effect...

Looking good so far mate..

Very nice.
 
I think it look great but I have like three 7lbs pieces of LR still to add to the tank and I have no idea where I'm giong to put them. I think I'm going to the idea of having a valley look to the tank, thanks Niko!....I'm just worried about my fish having enough room to swim around. I just added a enginner goby today to the tank and it looks great!! He found a nice hole under some live rock and just hangs out in there.

If some people can post some pics of there SW tanks so I can get a better idea on what I want to do with my live rock that would be great. Thanks
 
I think it looks fantastic!

You can always rearrange your existing live rock to mix with your new stuff. Your fish should be fine and still have the entire length of the tank to swim back and forth if they choose.
