    LOL at PeeJ
    This has to be some really dense rock or somethin cause my 30 has 50 pounds and I have a 10 gallon sittin underneath it....There's no way I could fit all my rock in that 10. I'm ready to check out some pics of that 10 also

    It's Fiji live rock. This is not my normal set up. I just sold my 150 gal and the guy didn't want the LR because he is going FW. I put it all in a ten for now, but I think it actually looks neat and I was wondering if I could keep it like this? I'll try to post a pic

    I'd go out and buy another 10 gal and split up the rock between two. There's no way you'll get decent flow in such a small tank with that much rock, unless you had at least 4 powerheads aiming at the rock from different directions. I had serious algae problems in my 10 while I had about 20lbs of figi rock; then I took out a couple of big pieces, with really improved the flow in all the areas in/around the rock. If you're saving the rock for a bigger tank, I think it will be better off for having the increased water flow around it.
