Somehow it is easier to be a rock artist in someone elses tank!! You knew I was itching to get my hands in it. It is difficulty to tell depth perception from the pictures, but seriously, it looked great the first time---before the cat jumped on the aquarium and knocked it over. At least now it is kitty proof (unless she gains more weight!) Now, we just wait.........

i'm a born natural when it comes to aquascaping
once my BTA moved to the back of my tank and stayed there for a while and i got worried so i went to retrieve him and had to move a good 50 pounds of rock in the way

Stacking rock is a lesson that you learn over time.. Ive been doing this longer than I care to even think about.. I just aquascaped my upgrade and Im not really satisfied with it.. I wont rip it out and start over though.. Might add a few small peices here and there to achieve what I want..Lots of caves that dont show up in pics..

how may gallons is that? I like the color of your LR! I do agree about needing practice. When at my LFS i stack to get ideas but by the time I get em home I forget how I had them.

I have a round about stock list to add into it soon..
I downsized from a 180 I used to have into a 120 because the 180 acrylic and scratched to hell and back. So I went with an AGA 120. Had it running for a little over a year and upgraded into this tank.
A few fish I plan on stocking is
Achilles Tang
Saragassum Trigger
Clarion Angel
The rest will be smaller reef fish, Gobies, Wrasses, etc, etc..

wow so you have gone through a few Aquariums. this is my first, and so I thought by going with a biocube I could maybe get the basics down. My wife has had few in her time and now has 120 gal. She pretty much knows her stuff...
My tank is STILL cycling. Everything is looking good except the Nitrite (0.25)
the waiting is the hardest part.
.
Still have No clue what I can and want to put in the darn thing tho. Two clowns for sure but man....... not much to choose from. Oh ya and a clam!!!

Oh well.... I will get it figured out.
