Added 4 more pounds of live rock to my FOWLR setup, hows it look?

Here is how my tank look at the beginning of the week with around 5ish (either 5 or 7 I forgot how much was in there) pounds of live rock.



Now I just added 4 more pounds of live rock (and one hitchhiking starfish) to the tank and was wondering how it looked to everyone. I'm not good at all about arranging rock and all that stuff but I think I made good enough caves and hidey holes for the fish that aren't going to fall down on them.

The one piece of rock I got today had a lot of corraline algea on it it looks SO pretty!

Anyway, here it is with the new rock addition:



How's it look???

Oh I just noticed a teeny tiny snail in my tank too. I also just moved the heater to the middle of the tank behind the rocks and moved the powerhead to the top left hand corner of the tank. I think the fish like it better up there than when it was behind the rocks they are able to explore in the rocks now more.

You did a nice job aquascaping. I think I mentioned in another one of your threads that your heater shouldn't touch anything like the substrate or rocks. Have you got it suspended with the suction cups now? They are really cheap (less than $3 at your LFS) and will extend the life of your heater. Let me know if you can't find them.

It's not touching it just looks like it is. I moved it anyways now and it's in the back in the middle of the tank and really doesn't touch any sand now. We're looking to get a new heater anyways so that one's just a temporary. We had a hang on back heater which my daughter decided to toss in the fish tank one day (it was non submersible) so we ran out and got that one at wal-mart and it's a piece of junk. You can't adjust the temperature it "supposedly" automatically keeps the water at 78 and there's no adjuster if you want the water warmer/cooler. I don't think it has turned one once since we've had it though!
