Aquascaping / Live rock arrangement Tips

[BritRover]

I am looking for tips or websites that provide help towards aquasacping a reef tank.

I would be setting up my 90 Gallon tank in about a week and would appreciate any tips or links

Stack it so it doesn't fall down.

I learned just by playing with it until I got it right. Make sure it's nice and stable and you leave ledges to place corals and caves for the fish. I like doing two separate 'piles' with a sort of trench between them

I am partial to a big curved "wall" in the middle...lengthways from corner to corner..bowing out towards the front.

i dunno..its not the most stable. but i really like the way it looks.

Fenner's "Conscientious Marine Aquarist" and Fenner/Calfo's "Reef Invertebrates" have some aquascaping suggestions.

Tullock also has some suggestions.

I would say, don't make just 1 big pile, and don't stack neatly. Leave nooks and crannies that can collect the maple syrup (oops! Wrong forum) Leave nooks and crannies where fish and inverts can hide, tunnel, or play.

My own style is islands and canyons, but different strokes, etc.
