Looks great Gina!

I like the aquascaping Gina, the island....the cave...you'll be able to get some good flow! Is the back of the cave open?
It looks terrific!

Gina · 03-16-2006, 08:51 PM

There are several areas that have entrances that are opened to the back. Especially on the R hand side of the tank.
The island in the middle is solid but, makes up a wall for there to be a valley between the middle island and R hand side.
The rock on top of the mound on the L and rock in the middle has 4 large holes for fish to go in and out of. You can't really tell by the picture.

I can't wait for the tank to begin it's cycle! I am as excited about re-starting this tank as I was when we started our first tank.

Fingers crossed.....we do it right this time! LOL

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Lookin' good Gina! Just like Christmas morning!

Cheers!

Gina · 03-16-2006, 09:03 PM

Here are a couple of different pics. I think I'll have plenty of spaces for the water to flow through also.

Woodstock · 03-16-2006, 09:14 PM

Yeah, I like that stacking style. It is much more appealing to me than a wall of rocks. The open spaces and caves really add shape to it.

Great aquascaping. looking good. congrats.

dobejazz · 03-17-2006, 08:11 AM

Like Christmas with a new toy, eh Gina? Thanks for keeping us posted!

I like the rock formations! Aquascaping looks great...

blastofreak · 03-22-2006, 12:38 PM

i love the aquascaping youve done... it is by far the funnest part of setting up a tank

Joe69 · 03-22-2006, 06:22 PM

Your aquascaping is cool, I may barrow some of your strategy when doing mine.

Gina · 03-22-2006, 06:26 PM

Thank you everyone!
This one is much more interesting than our old tank and the one thing I insisted on was a valley. I really love the look of it.
I can't wait till we are ready to add our fish and shrooms that are waiting in the cube.
