Do I have too much live rock? I now know 1lb per gallon so 13.5 lbs but I never weighed. Feel like I might have to move the white rock and shift the live over to the left so it’s more centered but I’m afraid it’s going to release a bunch of crap under the rocks and throw my parameters off. Also the anemone really likes the back of the white rock.

I’ll be removing that little three tier frag rack as it takes up too much sand bedding space

You are going to get a lot of answers on this lol.

I am a fan of a lot of rock. Biggest thing I do when setting up small tanks is to make sure that I can clean all of the glass. Not sure if the front (farthest away from overflow chamber) has enough space, but pics are deceiving.

I do like the swim through at that end also. Makes for some nice contrast.

Another thing to consider is that once corals cover it, not much rock will be seen and you will have the shape of the how the corals grow.

If you do want to move some rocks around, just be sure to do it before a water change and only move one or two at a time.
