nice rock work.
I see what you mean ..your fuge..it looks simple..
one question..have you had any problem with the sand in your fuge getting in your pump?..
oh..another question..what do the plants live off of?..don't they need a sand or mud base?

I haven't seen your post yet, and I love it! I'm not sick of seeing it, it's a great design.
