DIY Slate wall

and don't forget to mention me in ur sig if u decide to use it. lol. ^_^
 
Looks like way too much work too me.

My parents live in the middle of nowhere in Nevada and they have tons of slate around them. They just used it to rebuild there fireplace and had some sitting in their garage. So when they invited themselves to my place for Christmas, I made them bring me 50lbs of slate. I broke it up and stacked it in my 125. My koi (that have a home in a pond in the spring) have been rearranging it to their desires. Kind of looks like a natural rock-pile now. I'm thinking of renting the koi out as decorators.

hardest part was actually trying to find the right place for each piece.. everything else was pretty simple
 
It looks very nice!
 
Looking good bk828. The artsy fartsy types will tell you not to make it too symetrical and something about a "golden rule" 3:2 or some ratio of "the perfect center" which is actually off center :wall: I think the idea is if you make a point to point out the actual center, you bring to light the fact that your aquascape is actually in a tank and you shouldn't do that for a more natural presentation. It's your tank, do what you want! I never was artistically inclined :( or :)
