    LOL. So umm..... I got a little bored today, so I decided to go ahead and epoxy my rock together using acrylic rods and aquarium epoxy. It's 80 lbs of base rock. After I stacked it, I wandered what it would look like in my new 65 gallon tank that hasn't came in yet. So I took a pic of my 10 gallon, and a pic of my rock, and fit them to proportion to see how my rock would look. Then I got alittle carried away and started adding fish. lol. I call it virtual 65 gallon. Hope yall enjoy. Let me know how you like the aquascaping. ;D

    I need to learn to use that program.

    I have a certain guy on our local forum that I need to have a Banggai cardinal be turned into a BEN GAY cardinal.

    Bump.

    But as far as aquascaping is it cool? I tried not to make a "wall of rock" so to speak. Thats why I used rods and epoxy. And I think my fish will like the caves. Just not sure where to put the established live rock from my other tank. lol

    Man, I love Photoshop. You can make corals look really cool with it.

    Have you ever seen my Super Rare Aussie Handpicked Angel's Fire Rainbow Open Brain??

    Actually this is a $40 coral that is the product of Photoshop and about two minutes worth of boredom. lol

    It looks more like this
