i would take out the gaint rock to give them more space in your tank. there are rocks available that come with caves that are smaller and/or thinner so they take up less water space in case you still want to have a cave.

It doesn't look like your HOB is pumping good. Hard to tell by the pic, but could you check it for me!?!? That is the heart of your system. Without that, it would be daily 50% water changes. Also, that is like a septic system.
Good looking tank, tho. I love the colour of your gravel.

Yeah, but you have to think it is probably cutting the total volume of water in the tank down by half; thus, making it a more unstable environment. Not to mention it's their first aquarium.
WOW no thats a rock it must be around 25 pounds if solid. I like it wish i could find one for my 155 gallon tank. looks very nice:thm:
I agree it's a cool rock! In my amateur opinion, it's probably fine, as long as you're vigilant about your levels and water quality, since it looks like you have a pretty light bio load. However, your fish might be happier with a little more open space for swimming. I'd switch it out for some smaller rocks, and save the big one for a bigger aquarium. Some living plants would also be great for the tank, for the look, for health, and for giving your fishies lots of hiding places.
