Rocks from Hill Country - Heavy for 72G BF?

[ksskumar]

I got some white rocks from San Marco river in hill country (not Texas Holey rock though!) I have about 10 of those 5"X4"X2" waiting to be dropped in my Cichlid tank.

I already have a basketball size holey rock in cichlid tank.

Just wondering if my 72G bowfront will take all the weight.

Experts - please advise..appreciate it.

You should be fine if the weight is distributed evenly, by that I mean no sharp points bearing the weight onto the glass.

You could use egg crate or light diffuser grids from home depot to help with that.

I've done much larger stones with and without eggcrate with no problems but sharp points directly on the glass is a problem.

Give em to me so your tank won't crack

Make sure your stand is built right and level. I had a bow frot and try are known to leak since it bows.
