Here's a pretty lame drawing of what my rock layout could be like. I want it pretty simple with 3 main structures. Paul had requested I draw something up to help me with hole placement so I can pass along the details to Concept.

The silliness. I think I lost a mushroom and one of my high-heeled shoes in this drawing.

I can send you back the mushroom ledge from my tank if you really really want it?

Isn't that the mind altering kind of mushroom?

why are you putting your wife's shoe in the tank? Is that a new trend I haven't heard of? Just curious.

This is a quick idea of how I would drill, you might get a better idea as to how it all sort of works and get you to redraw the rocks.

Paul

I will show the drains later.

Thanks Paul I like what you did there. Are you saying that's not ideal and I might *want* to change the rockwork up or...?

Here's the damage this evening. I'm outta green tape and the tank got pushed out from the wall an extra six inches. Dang hefty maintenance guy was already complaining it was a bit tight.
