    Interested to see what you do with the scape once you add that extra rock.

    I don't know if you can see it well but the big rock all the way to the left is arched and bubbled in a bit to form a cathedral effect (in my mind) but it's about 22 pounds by itself. I just don't know how to utilize it in a better way.

    Added a little more than 10 more pounds of rock today. 7 lbs dry and 3 lbs live rock rubble to make a amphipod nursery in the back corner of the tank so that I will always have an abundance of the bugs.

    I've been determined to keep this as a fowlr tank but man I have so m any great flat surfaces I don't know if I want to change direction at some point.

    Plus more than half the tank is water column and I just don't know how I feel about that.

    I used this tank because I already had it and it fit in the space that I had available

    I could go a different direction with the fish in the tank...arrrgh

    I do think the new rock on the right side looks a bit like a skull peeking out and that's about the highlight of this update.
