HOW DOES MY NEW TANK DECOR LQQK?!?!

I love your whole tank design. It reminded me of a gorgeous aquascape photo I saved for the exact same reason. It's so simple and beautiful. (I even have a big box of blue/grey slate rocks to mess around with someday myself.)

If you're worried about weight as that rock wall gets higher, I know other people place a sheet of eggcrate on the bottom glass, then the gravel, then the rocks on top. That helps disperse the weight the across the whole bottom instead of smaller areas on the glass.

Here's the slate tank photo I saved.. after seeing what you've done with this, I thought you'd like it too.

thanks for the compliments!! and that picture is bada$$ i have read and heard of people putting the crate in the tank, but at this point that is gonna have to wait till i get a 125 or a 150!! i really dont want to disturb the substrate and stress the fish unless i HAVE to... i just gotta keep my fingers crossed!! that tank pic u attached looks to have a lot more weight than i do in mine?!?! i always wanna go bigger, enough is NEVER enough :evil_lol:
 
That is beautiful! It looks so blue, what kind of lighting do you use? Is the background blue?

That second tank pic that someone shared is really pretty, too.

that second pic that was attached to someones post with the slate tank was giving me some ideas for mine too
 
Looks awesome.. dont worry about the weight

there is people that have hundreds of pounds of liverock in SW tanks... tanks hold a lot more weight that many people think

if you are concerned you can buy some plastic egg crate at home depot and put it under the substrate-- it will help distribute the weight

It looks awesome! You could always use steel bars to reinforce the bottom glass and stand. I can definitely help out with doing that. More slate would look even better.
