Need help choosing live rock. Trying to use an lfs. Found a store with very good ideas to aquascape my 14g Biocube but selection doesn't have a lot of crevices. I'm so nervous about picking rock and aquascaping my tank.
K.. "smaller fish"? What kind? Some wrasse and basslets like to boot scoot in and out of nooks and crannies in rocks. So, I'd make some caves. Some, like clownfish, cruise over and around rock, so caves aren't that important. Some, like yellow watchmen and other gobids, like sand only and rock is not important to them, per se, but important to you for biofiltration.

Dave,
I really don't know yet, that's how much of a newbie I am...
Mickster... personally with a 14G, I feel you are going to want to use smallish, baseball sized rock, with a few "shelf" like pieces here and there. You can't really go "big" with a small tank, so you want to aquascape the small tank, to look like a big reef. Go "micro" and make it detailed and your lil' reef will look nicer to your eye.
It's much like the freshwater planted tanks popular today (Japanese influence). Or even bonzai! Trick the eye to make them look bigger, by using smaller, but detailed landscape structure.
Yes sir, how you doin man? Its a small internet huh? Hows the tank comin? Last we talked it was filled up and you had your rock and sand in there right? Make a decision on the increase of waterflow?

Yep, pretty cool. Going slow. I decided to get a nano koralia this coming weekend, should help with the flow. Did a 4g water change and then added 3 astraea snails that are doing a number on the algae around the glass and back of the tank. 3 blue legged hermits that aren't very active at all. 1 Sally light foot crab that is all over the LR picking at things.
