    I just ordered 15 lbs. of LR and i got it 2 days ago. it's not finishing curing. I'm not sure where to put it for the best look and purpose. I'm new to this this is my first reef tank. i 've had it up for about 11 months now. I need some help on where to put it. i'll try and post a pic but my camera sucks.

    if you can find the book The New Marine Aqarium it has several ways to put your lr.

    island formation - a loosely assembled mound in the center of the tank with space around it

    atoll formation - kind of a horse shoe shape mound with space around the outside of the tank

    single peak - a high mound in one corner of the tank sloping down to the other end of the tank

    2 peaks - a mound in one corner of the tank with another mound in the opposite corner looks like a vally running thru it

    also using pvc pipe underneath or thru the rock
