Well my rock is about 6 inches from each side and the top.About 10inches from the front.I did stack the rock so the fish had room to swim in the middle.
 How many tangs do you have in your reef?

I would try to space out the rock a little.Make severl caves that the fish swim through.You might look at the pictur gallerys and look to get some ideas.

It all depends on want you want.I have removed alot of rock in my tank that i didnt need.At 1 point i had around 90 pounds in my 58.Now i have around 50 pounds.Of course it does help when a lfs goes out of business and i bought 40 pounds of lr and 2 power heads for 20 bucks.
