    When you are staking your rock higher make sure that you secure it some how exopy, glue or zip ties lol Just so it doesnt fall over

    Hmmmmm this is a problem I hadn't thought about it.. I will make sure its secure if I stack it high. but I don't think I am going to be stacking it high enough to worry about it falling crushing anything.

    Two islands, one on both sides with Lil caves he can swim through would be sweet. Send pics

    when building up the rockwork - the main thing is to eliminate pivot points

    if you place a rock and its secure and you cannot make it wobble, then move on to the next rock

    if you place a rock and it will wobble if you press it with your fingers on any spots then that rock is not secure and snails, hermits or just general tank maintenance duties could cause it to crash down in future

    one rock at a time, make sure its firmly in place, and then the next one IME

    Im a perfectionist, for me its all about balance, I think I have too much rock to do two islands! This should be interesting :) I will post pictures for sure of course.
