    I plan to use E-Marco 400 to hold all the rocks together.
    I'm hoping to DIY an LED fixture for it in the next month or two, as I really need a RODI unit too so it's one or the other and only 1 big item a month....you know how that goes.

    I also moved both tanks around so will have to get some new pics up.

    Edit here is the photo

    The rocking chair will be moved :)

    I vote for scape 4. IMO it makes the best use of that smaller piece out front to add a sense of depth.

    Thanks I rather like that one as well since that side of the tank is visible from 3 sides and will give added interest while viewing from the end of the tank.

    I still have one more huge chunk of rock (the one in the back left corner of the first picture, of all the rock) but I don't see where I'd put it. So was thinking that the 46 needed some additional rock so it may end up there after I chisel out some caves and a tunnel in it.

    Yeah I had that small piece of rock that I didn't know what to do with....maybe I'll use it on the sandbed somewhere to isolate a small colony of pulsing xenia as I really like it but don't want it taking over the tank.
