    That is exactly how the last time I re-aquascaped my tank went. I'm still not 100% happy with it, but next time I want to re-do it I'll sell about 70% of my rocks and get small base rocks instead.

    yea it sucks selling/giving away the rock because you loose money, when i had originally setup my tank i spent $500 between the rock sand and water

    You guys are gonna kill me, but I got it pretty much the way I want it in my 200g tank on the first try.


    Having a 30" wide tank makes it easy.:)

    here is the latest aquascape. I was surprised that i kind of like it, i had no idea what i was doing when i placeed in as i could not see. In a few weeks i will move the rock on the right to an open space to the left. I don't know hw many pounds of rock i have in it now, but maybe 30 or 40? Also the tank is still a bit dirty from everything. Clowns ate which is good.
