    I'm not sure if I did it properly. Please correct me if you see anything wrong. Also what do you think about the quality of these rocks? Overall I paid about $2.75/lb. Sorry for so many pictures. I really appreciate your honest opinions.

    Thank you so much. What do you think about the quality of the rocks? Center mushroom rock is from a serious hobbyist's tank but the most of the other ones are from a wholesaler and I'm kind of apprehensive about the low price.

    looks great.. but it seems a tad bulky in the middle, other than that looks good. You might want a bit more swimming room, but in the end it's up to you. What type of lights do you have?

    I don't have very good lighting due to this tank built into the wall with low tight clearance on top. I'm getting two T8 50/50, 18" each to replace Home Depot fluorescent bulbs that I used for freshwater.

    I think it is great. The thing about aquascaping is that it is all up to you. The only mistake you could really make is not making sure the rocks "lock" together. You dont want a clumsy turbo snail to knock over the rock and crash the glass down. I personally like hideouts and nooks and crannies for the fish to swim through, but its all yours do as you like. It looks great. I just picked up more than 80lbs of LR for free and I didnt balk over the price :) Enjoy it. You made a wise purchase.
