OK guys, I am new to aqua-scaping and this site. My first project will be a 55 gal cube where I want to build up a Lava rock hill/cliff in one corner. I want to use larger lava rock stones stacked 2 - 3 high with small plants growing between the rocks. I also want to use Miracle Grow Organic potting soil as my substrate. My thought was to build up the potting soil in the corner behind the rocks.
I am thinking that I am going to run into some issues doing it this way (settling, dirt coming out between the rocks, etc). Can any of you veterans advise me to the problems I will run into and how to avoid them?
