What do you guys/gals think now? Any improvements to be made?

I really like that. I'm a big fan of the arch/bridge...too bad I'm to lousy to have one in my own tank....lol

 

[hackman72]

you goin' bare bottom?

 

[mojo]

Hmm - I think it's too large on the left and the "bridge" is too spindly. I'd balance it out some...

Nope. Picking up sand this weekend.

I agree with the bridge issue still. I need to raid my buddies LR to see if any pieces jump out at me for the center of the two towers. Thanks for the input!

Speaking of bridges.. I have an idea for a "bridge", just not sure how to go about it yet.. It will connect to the rock on one side and be free floating on the other end.. Trying to decide on how deep I'm going to have to drill into it and place a rod to support it..

Take a look at this post on how I made my arch:

Looks alot better. Mojo that is a pretty sweet support

Wow, huge difference, I really like the new aquascaping.

I think that you will be much happier with the end result if you make your bridge wider and don't lean any rocks against the glass. Leaning rocks against the side glass looks unnatural.

I agree. That's why I chose not to have anything touching the glass.

I don't see anything touching the glass:confused2:

I would somehow make the bridge a little wider, and add one more piece to the far right side

Exactly. None is, it looks as if it is. Plenty of room for my algae magnet to clean the glass. I'll take yall's advice on the bridge. The left stack is made up of two pieces.
