Aquascaping

I have a 135gallon 72x24x24 (I think thats dimensions) a few hundred pounds of live rock, im tired of the rock wall look and I cant come up with anything that looks good. Any suggestions?

I used fiberglass rods from HomeDeopt, drilled my rock and pieced it together into two tower formations.

I always put down 3 large base rocks. 1 on each side and 1 in the middle. Either in fro t or towards the back depending on what look u want. Then stagger stack from there. Leave openings for fiah and growing coral. Use ur shelf peices on the top. Also nicr to turn the longer peices straight up for different heights. Good luck.

Thanks and it wasn't really that tough to do. I do wish I had added more rock but the open space is nice for the fish

Fiberglass driveway markers.

Get some cement from Marco Rocks and you can do just about anything.

Google "bonsai aquascape" for ideas.

IMO if you have a few hundred lbs of LR in a 135... thats probably your problem

I know it 135 just couldn't remember the measurements I will post a pic tomorrow when the lightsiare on.
