    Well I was digging thru my rubble and came across 2 nice shelf rock pieces to add to my rock setup. Lol this is bad that I keep adding rock to my tank~ Anyone else have these problems, its like I want to keep building cool caves for my fish and better platform for my corals.

    The more you aquascape, the longer it takes for your tank to settle back in. And I hate getting my hands wet :lol:

    WOOOHOOOO im glad you guys are like me here are the pics, the left side of the tank is were I added 2 new pieces, mainly for my war coral since it can encrust that whole shelf which would be cool. I think I have about 100lbs if not more of rock in my tank. God I started with 50 then over the course of time be like this is a nice addition. Lol my clowns and tang dig it, hermits think its Mt vesuvius and have already scaled it.

    i look at it this way - LR is the kind of "rock" that is better to be addicted to!

    i always feel that gravitational pull to the LR tank at my LFS - i go gaze at it the same way i gaze at the fish and coral tanks there!

    It is sort of like the quest for the Holy Grail - except forget the grail - we shall forever quest towards the "perfect" piece of LR.....and it will never end! lol :)
