Basic Questions

I have a 55 gal tank. Will just one of those rw-8 work or should I have two of them running at the same time?

You could get 2 RW-4's in that case, they are wireless so you can set one as master and the other as slave and have them work in many different speed and rotating pattern.

I just dont know what my flow rate should be to keep everyone living in the tank happy lol

I am looking for new rocks that I would be able to build like an arc or something. That way I can have some places for the fish to hide and feel safe. Looking for rocks that I would be able to attach coral to eventually as well. The rock I have now I just bought from Petco.

Something like this?
I had some rocks in my yard drying out so played around with them to make some arc

Ya something like that. Is there live rock like that that you can buy? That but twice the size would be perfect. Looking at putting a few different style rocks in my tank just for a variety and different looks.

Here's the thing, no two rocks are alike. With that being said, it only takes your imagination and creativity to create your own aquascape.
I just did that just now to show you how easy it can be done.

Exactly. How did you attach and make the rocks form like that? Screws, Glue, Aquarium Epoxy?

I just stacked them, if you want to make your aquascape permanent them you will need some tools to cut, drill and some acrylic tubing and epoxy to make them stay put
There are lots of great tutorial videos on youtube for that.
