Critique Rockwork?

[trigger-happy]

This is my first time setting up rockwork entirely on my own, with no assistance during the process. It's also my first time doing rockwork at ALL in a tank this small. This is my old 10 gallon freshwater tank, which I decided to convert to saltwater because I'm an addict.

It got cleaned and scrubbed and had 20 pounds of live sand added. The rocks are my S.O.'s castoffs - they've been thoroughly boiled and bleached and boiled again. And again. Not sure how many pounds of rock is in there. I just basically took all his unwanted scraps.

I tried to go for something fairly symmetrical, because asymmetry would drive me bonkers after a very, very short while.

How's it look?

dont have the big flat peice be all thats on top.

Use the biggest rock as a base for one side of the shelf, and a smaller one to hold up the other side. then do something on top of(or behind) the shelf with whats left.

Try collapsing the rock pile a little, so there are more crevices for fish to swim through and more room for coral. It will also look more natural if instead of a big flat piece on top, it kind of looks like a pyramid.

Will keep both of those in mind...though to be fair, there will be few if any corals in here. I suspect it's going to be mostly shrimp. I've always wanted a shrimp tank!
