Rock is in The "Ideas for aquascapeing thread" had these pic's in it





Which inspired me to do this (took a few tries and a small puncture in my finger to it get to right and fairly stable). I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Water isn't entirely clear yet as I just finished scaping not to long ago but you get the idea

Thanks it took me an hour and a half to get it done, but all in all it wasn't to bad, and like how it turned out (which normally doesn't happen when I aquascape it myself). I have to admit the pic ideas helped me stick to a plan so it was easier to follow though on that idea then to place rock where ever and hope it looks good

Feng shui balance

Just spent a lot of time tetris"ing" the rock on top of each other until I could press down on it without it being too tippy.

Nice build! I love that froggy too! I have the bm skimmer and its pretty good. I got it from my brother. The only complaint is that the meshwheel break (I'm not sure if yours came with the meshwheel or if they have upgraded to the needle style wheel, but I would recommend having a spare on hand just in case).

Looking forward to seeing more of this cute little guy

groggy? I don't have a groggy...I have a Froggy

My frogfish is in a 10g tank that is by my bar downstairs. My 34g is in my main living-room, upstairs by the front door. The 34g will be home to Doug's tankmates from his 25g, so he doesn't have to move his 25g and 110g all at the same time. Then after he is fully moved in and he has his 260g running (wont be until after March 2012 sometime) and has added on a 30g ish tank to that system, then we'll move his fish and coral over (the ones that will be in my 34g) to his small tank, and then move my froggy to my 34g.
