i was just thinking if u could use little tanks in ur main tank to place rocks on, keeping the opening of the tank facing out so the fish will have a cave, in my mind it looks awsome plus the lil tanks wont tank up that much room, i have a lil 5 gal i was gonna put in my 75 gal to see how it looks, even those lil octogons u can buy in walmart would be cool to try , any feed backs on ideas or critisisms(how ever u spell it) would be welcomed

I agree with Kip, the only drawback is that it would be tough to get prime circulation throughout the little tank and main tank....
Great idea though!

any ideas how to get water flow through there?

lol ...makes sence, some times u over think things

I wouldnt worry about getting cirulation in there if your tank is turning over enough.

I am definatly going to try this idea to add more shape to my rock formations. I think instead of the smaller tank just anything really that's sturdy.
You could cut holes in the back so water could flow through it and then get a power head closer to the cave. Tell me how it goes and thnx for the idea.

hows this, if strenght of the glass might be an issue why not take a few pieces of plexiglass and make some deviders in the little tank that is going to be placed in the main tank, there are 2 reasons for this the first and most obvies is for strength, and the 2nd would be for the fish to have there own little cave instead of 1 big sleeping area
