Default Aquascaping ideas

Hello all,
I am going to be adding some more live rock to my 90 gal very soon and was wondering if anyone had pics of their clever aquascaping ideas?
Look forward to seeing your creations.

Look at fisheytimes tank he has a 6 foot 120 and has used PVC to help build his structure. this just comes to mind as i was just looking at the thread. lots of other people here have used pvc pipe in order to create canopies and such. I have no real good pics as i just have nanos at this point.

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
