    I was dissatisfied with the bunch 'o rock in the back stacking thang as well. I tried, basically, making an inverted 'U', then bridging over to another stacking job. It created a cave and two rock formations that come up to the front glass.

    I would like to say the fish like it.....but I think they would be happy with anything.

    Now......this is important......as previously stated, moving rock around will stress out the tank. By moving rock around, you are exposing parts of rock to flow that have not seen it in quite a while. This will, most likely cause a mini-cycle by blowing out waste that is trapped in the LR. Just be careful.

    I make very small changes from time to time to satisfy my urge to see something different, but I realize at the same time that I will never be completely happy with the set up as is. It is just the nature of things with me.

    Here is a pic to illustrate what I have done.

    I tried to do mine like a big ole W, just wider, that way I could make several sections where there would be caves, but the water could still flow

    after looking at this pic I said...man I need more rock lol
