What size tank Snipe? I think that is the 1st time I've ever seen your setup. Nice rockwork.

Yes we do have a 4yr old son. He doesn't really care too much about the tanks right now. He is really only interested when we go to the fish store or get new fish. He likes to look but I don't think he really understands what we are creating in our home when we give the fish homes. He will someday though-hopefully.

Here are a few pics.
We think this is how we will be leaving the rock. We sort of combined all of the pics and ideas you guys gave us.
Let us know what you think. We have about 230lbs of rock now. We will add more, for filtration purposes, eventually. Have to go kind of slow though.

My nephew likes my tank he is only 1 and he likes to set on my knee and look at it or he will stand at it and look. He is a curios kid. He may not like it now but he will eventually see a fish he likes even at that age and want it lol. Try to get something he likes that will get him into it fast lol.

maybe you should consider using adhesive. some of the strutures look like could be disturbed by my tiny percula clowns in one of their frenzy dances

That is what we are planning. We found a couple butterflies and maybe and angel. Have to make sure that they are size compatible with the Vlamingi though. I want to make sure everything has enough room to grow.
Sorry this was a follow up to the rock looking really good for large fish such as angels and tangs. I forgot to quote it first.

Taylor really likes the clown fish, which he insists on naming Nemo and Marlin! He loves to look at the fish in the store. It is just at home that he doesn't have quite as much interest in. Although the serpent star came out the other night during feeding and Taylor wouldn't quit screaming about the octopus-until I told him what it really was. Apparently that is now the coolest thing in our tank! It will be nice though to, hopefully, be able to share this hoby with him in the future.

Hey we were wondering about that also.....how does the glue work? Is it going to cause problems if we need to move the rock for whatever purpose? or does it come off pretty easy?
No it wont cause a problem alot of ppl do it. Alot of ppl also drill holes in the rock and zip tie them together.

Yeah its always nice to see someone interested in the tank. In my house its really only me my dad looks at it every now and then but I do most of everything and am most interested.
