Awesome.

I saw that you got those rocks from a rockyard. Remember what they were called? Or do you have any extras?

Thanks.

Actually I do have some extra - I got them from a place that had all sorts of rocks, including rare ones.

I have about 2 bags full of these rocks. I'd be glad to let some go.

Sorry I do not. But they are nice - I like them alot.

These are the same rocks that Jeff over at ADG uses in his tanks.

Nope, but if ADG is selling it, I can sure guess that a good amount of people do!

I get my own rocks the from the woods.

That's cool - to each his own. I prefer to buy mine from a place that sells, as I said before, all sorts of rare rocks!

Hi rick4him,

Your tank is looking quite nice. The HC has filled out well, as has the hair grass.

When you next scape though, I think you should slope the substrate more, especially with the iwagumi type of layout. The current layout of yours is quite flat, and i think that a slope would add a bit of character to the layout.

But thats just my opinion

Hey thanks- maybe I'll take a picture from the side - there actually is a really big slop in the tank - I just think that from the angels of the pictures you can't tell very well - thanks for the feedback - it has taken a while - but it is starting to look nice. Thanks again.
