Thank you @DSFIRSTSLTWATER  really appreciate that. I made most of the rock-scape with STAXX rocks. There are two pieces of rock that aren’t: the one on left with the candy cane and the one in front with the nems. I took those from my last tank. 

The tank is a Red Sea170. 34 gallon display tank and 9 gallon sump.

So nice. Are the stax rocks really porous? I'm going to be doing a 75 gallon reef tank next year. It's a standard 75 that my cichlids are in currently and I've been thinking of how I wanna do the scape. I don't wanna have the same problem like my 20 has in regards to the depth since they are both standard rectangles. I've never seen the stax before. Sorry for the long post lol love the tank.

No worries.  Appreciate it. I wouldn’t say they’re any more porous than if you took a saw to a BRS reefsaver rock and started cutting flat pieces from it. I liked the flexibility that it gave me in a relatively small tank to make the scape I was looking for. That said I’m also in the middle of curing some additional (BRS) rock to add on in the back of the tank (as I add more coral). Definitely suggest you create the scape outside of the tank and use zip ties or “Stix” from two little fishies to secure the rock well. I didn’t do that and relied on glue in the beginning, but am slowly securing it down as I knock bits over while I futz arond in the tank. 

....sorry....Even longer reply :)
