    Looks... good.

    I like an arch. Some people like islands. Try breaking a couple of rocks in 2~3 pieces with a flathead screw driver and a hammer. Thats what I did. Gotta love the Pukani rocks.

    I have exactly the same stand for my 90 gallon, which is sitting in the garage. I got it off CraigsList last month. The inside bottom seems really weak. Not yours?

    ex: didn;t exactly follow on your arch help.

    as far as the bottom of the stand. it is sturdy. it is brand new. i have heard over time they get weak from water if not protected.

    Oh I was just talking about aquascaping in general (arches, islands, towers, weird stuff.. etc)...

    I think you did great.. those rocks are so amazing!!

    My wife made an interesting arch in our 29 gallon with some epoxy glue. She used roughly 3 large pieces... and then she asked me to hold the arch in place for 30 minutes until the epoxy dries. YEP, we guys always get the crappy end of the deal.

    I am a paid member. Don't go to a whole lot of meetings, but they have a good for sale section. When do you think your 90 will see water? I am still cycling my 40 breeder.
