Yay, it's finally ON!!! The big rock on the right, it doesn't look steady, looked like it's gonna topple somehow, maybe it's just my vision :P

Yeah, Jenny, you are right. The pic does make it look like its gonna fall. But it extends toward the back all the way to the back of the glass. Feels pretty sturdy

When you have fishes around and they hang out in the back a lot, you might move it hahaha, but hey, who knows, cause you willl keep aquascaping it until you get that perfect spots for each one I said what you said before and it didn't happen hehehe, don't say I didn't warn u :P

PS: I like ur rocks, it has so much colors to it already, great start!!!

One problem you might run into is having a Gobi or so dig out under the rocks and cause a landslide. My gobis dig all the way to the glass bottom. Had me praying a few times.

Thanks everyone. Ill keep updating once the cloudiness has settled down. The rock is pretty nice. 24 lbs of base (from old tank I had years ago) and 17 lbs live.

Tank's pretty clear now, thought I would post some more pics. Check out how much of the green algae on the base rocks has disappeared from the first pictures I posted. New lighting arrives tomorrow, I'm pumped.
