In a 12 gallon Nano Tank, what are some different ways of stacking the rocks to make the aquascape look good? Please post some pictures for examples. Thanks!

Did you have to use a hammer to break up your rocks so you were able to obtain the desired shape and size of the rocks?

I think yours looks good. Generally in a nano the best way to go is the "pyramid" method, it's easier to add on to and maintain. Here's mine:

Your aquascape doesn't look bad at all.
I broke up some of my rocks and glued it into shapes that I liked. You could make some nice arches... caves are also cool.

Thanks! Yup, that's an Eclipse 12 with a 36 w 50/50 light. My LFS sells the saltwater version of the tank. I didn't know about the Aquapod when I bought it or I might have gone with one of those, but I don't really have any complaints about this one; it wasn't too bad pricewise and it's been a great tank to start with.
