I recently purchased a 34g solana. I cant seem to set up my rock work in a way i like. I hate every look i wind up with. Can you guys be so kind as to put up some pics of your tanks so i can get an idea of what looks good in these tanks? Thanks in advance.

I have a 34g Solana, and have to agree with you, I have probably changed my rockscape a hundred times. What I found works best for me was to go about 2/3rds of the way up the tank in live rock, with a solid foundation. Good luck though. I will try to post some pictures later.

Thanks. I look forward to seeing the pic. How do you like the solana overall?

Here is my latest and hopefully final try for a while. Let me know what you think. One is a front shot and the other is a shot from a slight above angle to give an idea of the depth i was trying to get. I was trying to get as much area as possible for corals later.

Very nice st9z, how many lbs of live rock is that and what kind?
Did you buy it local or online?
It's about 20lbs of rock I bought off another local reefer that was tearing down his tank. Assortment of Fiji, S. Pacific Deepwater, and Pukani.

I had to move the tank across the house last night, so I am in the process of re-arranging my solana.
Here is what I had when I first set up the tank:

And another setup soon after.

I like the first a little more actually.

here is mine. diy rock wall with about 7lbs of live rock. i love the wall b/c it allows me to hide all my powere heads.
there isn't to many options when it comes to rock work in a small tank like this especially cubes. i think the reef wall will look really good when filled with corals and coraline algae.
