After looking at some of the aquascaping here, I got motivated to rearrange my rocks.Sorry for the pictures, I took them quickly.

Here is what it used to look like

Here is what it looks like now

Left side

Right side

Center

I have a second Koralia 4 arriving tomorrow. As you can see I still have some algae/cyano (tank is only 7 weeks old).

I like the first setup as long as you had flow behind the rocks. Interesting openings etc. for your fish.

Im a fan of the first set up, i like the full tank look

Definately prefer the second setup...more "natural" looking, IMO.

Like webbstock said, I felt the first one was not very natural looking. It also had the wall of rock feel to me. I did like the bridge, but could not get it to look natural with the rock I had. I like the way the left side turned out, but am not too sure about the right side.

I do not plan on changing this often, but may make a few adjustments if anyone has suggestions. I may just need to get a couple more pieces of rock.
