Aquascaping ideas

[Oxymoron]

Wow some of those tanks are amazing.
I find different things that I like in the designs with either less or more rock. Each seem to have there own individual appeal.
I was wondering though.... Is it not recommended to have 1.5 - 2 lbs /gal for adequate filtration?

1lb per gallon would be fine... and it doesn't all have to go in ur display, you can have it in the sump..

I really love the idea of the "canyon" in this - I think I'm going to try it with the 120, once I switch over.

Well I knowI'll NEVER get that kind of depth but this is what I'd like, two piles sort of staggered (It's 2 fee of depth) Don't mind the bad MS Paint diagram, I didn't feel like going to my computer and using Photoshop

Keri I really like your prop0sed layout.
Perhaps I will try to build some caves and overhangs on either side but also leave a large space in the middle for the fish.
I now have approx 170 lbs of 4 different kinds of live rock to work with.
Im away working so I havn't seen how full the tank is with all of it in but I am almost certain it will be too much.
By having 4 different sources of liverock in the tank will I have a good biodiversity of little critters?
Is 4 enough or should I look to trade for additional sources?
