NICE!

I like how you layed that little piece of LR in front, it sort of distacts you from the main structure of LR and causes you to notice things (like the starfish)

i tried doing a cave in the corner of my 55gal.. well, more like a fish "crib"... big open area inside, but a small opening going in... its not looking too good tho.. i've got a real big pieceof LR that just has that perfect corner in it... so i tried using 3 small pieces of baserock and that big piece on top of them... still too much light getting through the sides... may end up trying to cover the sides and back with a black background.. anyway, aquascaping is harder than i thought it would be, but what you got there... very "aqua feng shui"

Looks really nice, man.

I hope your architecture know-how made it sturdy so pieces don't slide or fall. But I think your fish are too small to move the rocks.. If you have an eel in there.. wouldn't be good. Oh, that's 30 gallons; good size..

I might have added 10 more lbs live sand, but you already have your fish in there so it may be better to let them be. Tank looks good tough. You seem to have no algae problems.

Your live rock set up looks crazy; I bet your fish love it.

Good fish keeping, man. *thumbs up*
