Re: my tank is just about ready
Did you silicone some of those rocks together? Some of them look like they're about to teeter-totter right over.
It sure does look good though! I can't wait to see it with plants :).
I tried hot-gluing rocks together once and it didn't work very well. They were smooth rocks and the hot glue didn't stick to them enough. I plan to try silicone next time.

Re: my tank is just about ready
no none of my rocks are stuck together....the trick is to find them that have layered edges and they fit together like lego's.....i assure you they are sturdy in their place...tested by current and weight.....that's why it took me so long to get it ready....it's tedious to fit them together...but i will only have small cichlids in the tank...no danger of them moving the rocks.....i picked up the slate and rocks at a landscaping place on 290....13 cents a pound....along with the rocks that were 12 cents a pound.....thanks for the compliment......

Wow, umm...
I took what brownsnout said to be a joke, kind of like little kids getting grossed out by their parents kissing...
Thanks for the kind words, Raul. I agree with you."Millennium hand and shrimp!"

I thought it was pretty funny myself, I loved the puking smiley face....
I'm sure fishlady will feel differently about this down the road, she's a warm hearted person who just gets caught up in the moment sometimes. I'll spank her real good for you all next time I see her.
Thank you all in advance for your patience and understanding with us new members, it really is a nice website with lots of nice folks.

No, I'm not, but I am someone very close to her and I'm sure she is somewhat remoreseful over her comments.
Sometimes we all tend to take things personally, or the wrong way, it's easy to do that here on the net.
I appreciate her comments about me of course, and, I found brownsouts comments amusing as well. No harm done either way.
Let's all forgive and forget about this incident if you will.
