Ideas for a 90gal.. post your pics!

[Sonjamo]

I recently got a 90 gallon tank and it is now cycled. It houses 13 Frontosa fry/juvies, 1 black ghost knife, 1 striped Rafael cat. This is obviously not the finished product. I would like to get a lot of rock work in there but I'm still debating what to put in there.. I really like the Texas Holey Rock but where i live it is hard to come across, seems the only way to get it is to order online or on eBay. I'm not a fan of S&H fees so that is not the way to go. I'm very open to ideas.. I would like a rock that is not too pricey and is good for African cichlids. I also like lace rock but i would like to explore my options before buying.


I was hoping you all could suggest a type of rock or even post pics of your own tanks with rocks so i could get a better idea of what I'm looking for.


I've posted a pic of how my tank looks right now to help inspire some helpful suggestions.

You should later upgrade to a 135.

Do you have any interesting rocks around your house or in an area nearby?

[Sonjamo]

umm not really.. The only place i can think of going is down to the lake but i don't know how safe that would be for the aquarium and i doubt I'd find much variety in the types of rocks...

Do you have a place nearby that sells landscaping rock? I get my rock from a place like this, and it's exteremely cheap. I bought a flat slate-like rock for a 75G, and it was under $10.

Yea i went by a landscaping place and depending on the rock it went for about 5 to 25 cents per pound. Thats probably what I'll do. I just wanted to see some pics of peoples tank setups just to get some ideas.
