Nice setup.

River rock arrangement is making it more close to the natural environment.

Beautiful tank! Could you provide the details of the tank specs, filtration, lighting etc...
And, I would suggest to laydown the rocks randomly spreading all over the tank(except a small open space in the front), rather than piling them up. It would take your tank much closer the the Rift Lakes of Africa!!

Yes , arbitrary placement of rocks will make it look natural. But, had to give up that thought to get a better Elevation .... :( :( truly speaking river rocks doesn't go well in a Malawi tank if u r trying to give it an exact look.But, that's all i can get here :( :(
