Stunning! I wish I had the guts for a large sw setup. But my fw tanks do relax me. I watch them at night for about 45 minutes.
that rock I got at p&k gravel here in maine, its called "riprap" generally in the 6 to 8 inch range. It was 10 bucks for as much as you could load. I always look for driftwood but forget to watch for rocks. Had the wifes kia but loaded it pretty well (stupid car cant hold much weight though) and have tons left over on side of the driveway wrapped in a tarp. I got carried away when I saw there rock pile. Spent a good 2 hours poking thru it all. Gonna go again when its warmer out and rocks arent all frozen together. Wife wants to go as well, she said I looked like I had to much fun. Prolly cuz I did. I even took pictures of the rock pile when I was there. And then more pics of the rocks I brought home sitting in the driveway. lol, You should try and build a stand, that can be fun as well.I really like the rock quarry look. I may go in this direction with my next tank. I have a 55 with just about everything that my uncle said I can have. I just need to find a stand.
Picked up an oceanic 35g hex tank and stand. Cleaned it up and got it in the house. I'm seeding a filter cartridge for it, so there's nothing living in it. Yet.

That pic didnt work right.
lookin good
Only thing about a hex there so deep and hard to clean
I have one myself and I hate cleaning it lol
I chose not to paint it because of its shape.
Coral arrived!
Oh we know you want too..
I took a couple handfuls of sand from the 55 and about 6 MTS and put them in the 35 hex. I figure there's gotta be enough BB in the sand and on the plants and driftwood to support a couple tiny snails. So now there is life in the tank!
60% pwc on the Betta who's not feeling well, he's looking better on his body, he still seems stressed, his color isn't like it used to be. He's not tipping sideways as much, but still can't swim really. He's pretty happy sitting in the crook of the plants near the top.
50% pwc on the 32G flat back hex.
Getting ready to move the Red Tail Shark and the giant Blue Gourami to the 72G, hooray!
