Raising Rocks Off-the-Bottom of the Tank
Before you add substrate to your saltwater aquarium and start arranging or aquascaping either non-living or live rocks you are planning to put into it, you should first consider raising the rocks up off-the-bottom of the tank. Why? Because by doing this the rocks will be somewhat elevated above the substrate itself, which provides several benefits to the health of your aquarium in the long run.

Arranging Non-Living & Live Rocks
The rocks you put into an aquarium are not only decorative, but they provide housing for the fish and other animals in the tank, shelter against agression that may occur from other tankmates, and are an important biological filtration source. Here are some helpful tips on what you can do to arrange either non-living or live rocks in a saltwater system for maximum efficiency when you are aquascaping or arranging rocks in your aquarium.
