    well the rock work is all balanced, there is no marine sealant or drilling used, so it probably isnt very stable... i will probably get some stuff to help it fix in place but i do like what it looks like alot :)

    awesome start...Also, about the rockwork. Make sure the base rocks are pushed all the way down to the glass. That way if you get a Gobie, or anything that digs, they will not dig under the rocks and cause a fall!! Way to go...Keep it up and be patient.

    Thanks all, only thing I dislike is that background didn't stick properly and has air bubbles. Shoul have just used tape
