Yes very nic, is the rockwork stable? Almost looks like some stiff flow could blow the right side down.

Those rocks are not going anywhere, trust me. Most of them weight quite a bit and are supported.

I have a 46 bow and want to get a 75 RR. How do you like the size. I'm wondering if the size is that much bigger. What do you think, its worth it? How is the width? That is what Im really trying to gain.

If i remember correctly, the width was the same or very close as my 40 gallon breeder. The 75g is a foot longer and about half a foot taller. I loved the surface area on my 40g, so instead of going with a 55g, I went with the 75g. The fish seem to enjoy it. I found a 150g at a lfs, it has the same length and height as my 75g, but has the width of putting to 75g tanks infront of each other. WOW I was amazed of the surface area!!! I'm a full believer of having plenty of space for the fish to swim, and not over crowding it with rock. But that's my 2 cents. Hope that helps.
Even now I think I have too much rock, I'm debating to take out about 40 pounds.

I love the rock layout. I must admit that it looks like a hard sneeze from across the room would bring them down. Looks good, though.
