It's difficult to see in the picture but there is a rock wall that goes about 3/4 up the back wall. It's covered by the large leather and the rock on the right of the picture. I have very little rock in my fuge and a large chaeto "mass".

Here's a fresh pic of my 90G cube soft coral dominated tank. I set it up in early 2014. It contains a wide variety of softies and a few key LPS pieces. I also have a bunch of montipora colonies and a couple acropora. The tank also has 9 different species of photosynthetic gorgonians spread about (8 Caribbean and 1 Indo-Pacific).

The most appealing part of the tank for me are the little islands of rock that I placed around the sand. I've tried to colonize them with coral as much as I can. One of the islands for example has a bunch of different morphs of palythoa grandis, with a huge kenya tree giving them shade from the LEDs (100% blues, 25% whites, 10hr light cycle). I used 100% whites and blues for the pic though
