I am getting ready to collect most everything to assemble my 55 gal today and tomorrow. Hardest part will be rounding up all the baby one inch convicts from their 30 gallon for the petshop so I can get the rest of the predators ready for the 55 or 75 (my 55 gal I discovered has 2 chips in one corner.
Anyways, I was wondering if theres a weight limit for rock deco in an aquarium?
I understandet the the rock and other deco displaces water! But don't want to overload the tank. Have never used rocks before. Always used the cheesy fake deco, but want to try something different so the tank is nice for everyone to admire. Been getting some ideas online.
Also was thinking of placing the white plastic grating used for fluorescent lights on the bottom before I pour in the sand so none of the edges of the rocks and or driftwood touch the glass.
Is there anything wrong with that? I've used this same grate to cover my aquarium so light can shine through.
Let me know bout the weight issues...
Thank you all!
