you guys think i need more rocks? trying to leave the middle open.

looks good like it is!

i think you should leave the middle open too... i did the same layout(kinda) as you, but with limestone... i left the middle open a little bit also... looking through websites, youtube, etc.. of lake malawi, there seems to be rocks all over the place... so maybe adding 1 or 2 flatter roacks on the floor in the middle might work... or add 1 or 2 more rocks to each side, but i like your setup if you leave it alone also...

here is my tank... still tweaking a bit till i really like the setup... i might get a couple more rocks too, but who knows.

i had taken the pic just as i finished the rock work, that is why the tank is cloudy, but you'll get the idea...

many people on here say you don't need eggcrate... that if you stack your rocks good enough, they won't fall... i agree to some extent, but the amount of money in your tank, why not spend the extra $10 and get some eggcrate... i don't know if if really helps or not, but i know for a fact that it won't hurt, so i did it.
