I was curious if any Genious aquascaper was willing to help me aqua scape my tank so that I could:

A. Have more room for fish to swim (without getting a new tank).

B. Set it up so that I could create shelves, caves, and have my corals at the proper levels to get the appropriate light.

C. Simply make it look better.

Please let me know if you're willing to help a fellow reefer out. I'm in La Mirada.

You can definitely go taller with your rock if you want. I'd recommend adding a bit more rock to your total, take out the existing rock and build with cement and fiberglass rods from Home Depot. Just started doing this myself and if you're careful, can pretty much build any shape you want. Just make sure whatever you build is balanced.

The fiberglass rods are actually road/driveway reflectors and the cement is hydraulic (green bucket). With a masonry drill bit you can drill most porous rock and cemented cut rods to keep your structure together. It's fun!

Hard to tell but it looks like you have a lot of larger rocks maybe try cracking some that will give you the ability to stack and build bridges and caves
