    I like the 2.5 version much better, good work. What kind of rock is that anyway?

    Thanks everyone. :) Most of the rock is the Pukani dry rock from Bulk Reef Supply. The nice show pieces came with the tank when I bought it used. I believe the guy was a diver and got some of his own rock too. It is really nice stuff. The red piece on the top actually came with the Pukani.

    I just hope its all sturdy though. I didn't use a single bit of epoxy. Just sat all the rocks on the bottom and interlocked them as best as I could. Tried pushing on them from several angles. I was moving my hands around in the back to move sand back there and brushing against the rocks, didn't budge, so I think it should be ok.

    Looks great. A few of those pieces at the very top look a little scary. As long as you tested them and they are stable they should be good. I didn't epoxy mine together either. Avalanches are scary so I made sure mine interlocked well. The important thing is to put the rocks in first and then the sand just like you did.
