    We set up our tank 3 weeks ago and put in our rock. I will try to explain this the best I can. There are 3 on bottom that make a triangle ( they are separate, not touching)..with 2 rocks laying across those, then 2 leaned together on top of that..as suggested by Local Store owner. It looks neat, but I noticed a couple of days ago that the rock on the bottom left is barley holding up the rock ontop of it, they hardley touch. I am afraid it may come crashing down but was told if its been in there this long its ok. Should I start over or am I worrying too much.

    I think I would will try epoxy or cement. It just makes me nervous that it will come crashing down if I dont do something. One gal at the store said it should be ok, but that didnt sound very reassuring to me. Thanks!

    Thinking

    Out of everything you could over think, this is not one of them IMO.

    A rock breaking your glass? tank would be a bad 2 days for you if it's my size or bigger.

    Good thinking,
    Mike

    I would be crushed! This has been a lot of work, costly and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Breaking glass hadnt crossed my mind, so thank you, that gave me the push I needed to just fix it.
