    Cheers m8, i started with some larger rocks on the bottom and branched flat rocks across to create bridge effect and enable more rocks and coral to be strategically balanced on top, with minimal rockwork leaning up the back glass, and doing the wobble test after laying every rock, pretty basic really but i'm very happy with it...and so are the fish ...
