The background you put on looks phenomenal!
Also, how many stones are you going with for this?
Thank you so much. If it wasn't for Brian, I would never have thought of it though. Not sure how many stones I'll end up using. I have plenty to mess around with. 4 larger stones, a couple medium size, and several small stones. I might have to combine the smaller stones to make a the appearance of some larger ones. Hopefully you guys will see the hardscape start this evening.
Gotcha. I feel as though with a tank of that length, playing with the negative space can go a long way. But I'm excited to see what you do with it!
I'll definitely be playing with the negative space. My "large" stones, are really not all that large. They seem to be well proportioned to the size of the tank. The negative space is going to play a big part for me in sitting back and enjoying the tank. I can't wait to kick back on the couch and see the green neons darting back and forth in this thing!
First go, I believe there are nine stones.
You don't want me to have to draw it for you now do ya!?! Haha.. J/K
I think you really nailed it off the bat. I suppose if I had to throw SOMETHING out there, perhaps more pronounced slopes on the sides? The one on the left seems higher, but then again, I suppose it's more natural to be asymmetrical? I think that small rock on the left/middle can be brought back more to the left to make more use of that negative space in the middle -- sort of like a valley area there instead. I don't know... I still think it looks fine the way it is. But those are just some suggestions.
Looks awesome! if it were me, I would put the big stone on the left in the center. But I'm weird about things being symmetrical. Lol.

The only thin I can think of, as minute as it is, is that I really want the "big" rock on the right to have more of a point? It just seems too rounded/flat with the others around it.
Although that rock with some sharp plants like Blyxa behind it may look really nice.
