Looks great. How do you get it to stay stable like that. I just spent a couple of hours last night aquascaping my new tank and it pretty much involved a lot of swearing and pieces of rock falling. I wish I could get it arranged nicely like that with all the bridges and caves without it all falling over constantly!

nice.... how big of a tank?

Nice work!!

Not to be negative, but looks very unstable. Especially with that type of clown, tang and Lo. Just make sure it is in there good. Hate for you to have an avalanche and bust the bottom or a side out or worse, crush a fish. Just trying to be helpful. Barry

thanks for constructive criticism, the rock is held together by careful placement

I know first hand that unstable rock can and will crush unsuspecting fish. I lost a mandarin to an avalanche. Please, make sure the rock is placed securely or place some sort of putty to it. Looks good, but the fish can swim really fast, and dislodge it easily.

Went through a couple of avalanches myself. Didn't lose anything, but not a good feeling. Does anyone use that glue (don't know the name) they sell at the LFS for keeping the rocks together? Just wondering if it's worth it, especially if you decide to re-arrange.

I like the what you did with the right side, but as everyone else asked is it stable and just for my curiosity how much room do you have in the front

HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR SCOPAS TANG. IS HE PRETTY FRIENDLY TO YOUR OTHER FISH???

 

[coryjac0b]

the scopas tang gets along great with everyone, he was the last fish added, he follows around the foxface as if the foxface is his "big brother" the scopas eats whatever the foxface eats, must be his "idol"
