G, are you planning on having anything that digs in the sand? If so I'd want those rocks to be on the bottom of the tank rather than on top of the sand as they look to be now.
HEY!!!:silly:Goof !!!!!!
Yes, but I don't think the rocks are going to move they are pretty wide, and solid...the ones on the bottom anyway. I see your point though, and will get them further down then.
Oh trust me, if they are on the sand, a sandsifting goby, a large snail, even a snail in the sandbed can make them shift. You'd be amazed what they can do.
Ok, Grins...your my girl
I most likely wont be doing much today...have to have my littlest ones B-day, so working on cake and fixins for dinner but if I get a chance tonight I will work on things some more...and post up some updates for more opinionsThanks everyone!
Lady G, looks like your are trying to paint a color portrait with only black and white.
One of the first things I have noticed about salt tanks is that they all resemble stacked rocks LOL. There is only so much stacking and arranging you can do with the rock.
In a FW tank, your options increase tremendously.
That is why I started to make my own rock. It is easy, fairly cheap, and you can make the most awesome caves, pedestalls, swim throughs etc all custom to fit your tank. I may make a poodle and then find something to grow and cover it like a chia pet.
It is absolutely safe for fish and corals. If you plan on keeping a tank for the rest of your life, you may as well start now with a good rockwork base. Over the years you add and watch things grow on the rock you made. You seed it with the small rocks you already have, then remove the small rocks to the fuge or sump.
Oh sure there is some joy in buying a nice rock with great life on it, but if you start with a small frag today, it grows over the course of your life and if pruned you can aquascape your tank to perfection.
A word of caution on large sculptures. If you ever have to move or get a fish out, it can get very difficult. It's not like you can pick one rock at a time and relocate it and its inhabitants to a temporary tank.
