    My "WORK IN PROGRESS" 4 month old 55g tank :)

    Pretty much a ridgeine with a bridge in the middle and plenty of caves everywhere.

    You can get ideas of scapes, but really, doesn't it matter once you pick the rock. When I bought mine I stacked it on a towel on the floor. It stood out of water, it can easily stand in. Different shapes and sizes will determine what scape can even be done.

    It might take a good while to get it how you want. Trial and error my friend. I don't really like the scapes with glued rocks.. It doesn't look natural to me.. When I bought my rocks, I picked out shapes with curves, archs, and natural little caves and holes in it. Then balancing the rock underwater is pretty easy. Just put a few diff scapes together, take some pics of each one, and figure out which one you like best! If you do decide to glue some rocks in place, check out JB water weld. You can get it at any home depot, lowes, etc.. Its labeled drinking water safe, and is what I use to glue my frags down. Post some pics of what you've got goin my man!
