    They all look great, probably due to that very distintive rock! Personally I like option 2, reminds me of my own setup :)

    I like no. 2 but 3 id=s definitely my fav. Though I like your original choice you have in this pic. But that's w/o the base rock. So I guess I would go with option 3.:cheesy: I really like the shape of this hatian LR too. It's very distinctive compared to other varieties. :)

    Yes that picture is what I would like to go with...I just can't seem to make it work with base rock. I'm going to look at the LFS this weekend to see If i can find some that will work...

    You could cut or break the base rock pieces so they are all 2 1/2" tall, that way they are buried almost completely under the sand leaving only that great looking hatian rock exposed.

    I think i will. I think option 2 might run into the right side rock not sure...I think I'm set on option 3 . but that could change as I start to move it to the tank this weekend
