    I would not mind getting sand in water in there, but I do not have rock yet. Would it make it that much more to aquascape?

    The sand is in. I went with carribsea Seaflor Reef special grade. Marco Key Largo rock is about to be on the way.

    I ordered 50 lbs of Marko Key Largo and it got here today, very quick shipping. It was packaged very well, but I pulled out the two top rocks to take a look at it and I love it.

    Should be going in the tank with water this weekend.

    Got a chance to unpack all my new rock today...should be in the tank and wet this weekend! :).

    I am so impressed with this Key Largo rock from Marco. *It is so porous and and filled with quarter size holes. *There were a few nice shelf peices in there too...awesome bonus.

    The area the rocks are on in this picture is about 36" x 18"....the size of my 65g base. *

    Did I mention they stack well? *Even out of water! *Don't think i will be needing any acrylic rods :)

    nice... you might get a bug like i did and move the rock scape 10,000 times before you find the configuration you like the best. the marco rocks allow for alot of configurations with how they kind of 'stick' together in formation.
