So i have been hanging out to start my tank for a LONG time, after my last tragedy. I bought a whole lot of new macro key rock from Starfire Aquatics. I started fiddling around with it and have come up with quite a few different designs. I wont talk too much more and get straight into the photos :). A few people have helped me a lot with it @Wrangy @Sam Parker @Lesley, cant thank you three of you enough for answering so many of my questions!! Also a HUGE thank you to Billy at Starfire Aquatics who gone out his way to get me this amazing rock, cant recommend it enough. It all just clicks together so nicely.

All the rock laid out ready to start my spacing.

My First draft

A few minor Changes

Just a few different angles of the final choice.

Finally into the actual tank

Went through a lot of Need it Aqua

Put my sand in and i really like the look of it so far!

Looks good :)

But, perhaps more importantly, how come you are allowed to do this sort of thing on your kitchen bench :confused:

[Andrew B]

it is a bit hard when you are 2 hours from home

 

[MagicJ]

'Soon' was your word, not ours :p

SOON
shortly, presently, in the near future, before long, in a little while, in a minute, in a moment, in an instant, in a twinkling, in the twinkling of an eye, before you know it, any minute (now)...
