    I'll try to lower it. I was aiming for big caves for fish to swim through. I'll try again:)

    Try two. I kept the same general shape but I moved the rocks around a bit.

    I have always had the best luck aquascaping when placing the smaller rocks on the bottom and bridging them with the larger ones.

    +1 this allows for good flow under/through the rockwork.

    Almost all the rocks I have are about the same size. ( only about 2 are smaller).

    I'll try again:p

    I like "atoll" scapes, it forms a small lagoon in the middle, or the one that protrudes from one corner with the same thing on the other side, which form a canyon in the middle of the two islands.

    Hey guys.. IM BACK LOL There were a few issues with the budget but we got it all figured out now :D

    We finally got the barrel so I am currently filling it up with water. Tomorrow will probably be the time to fill up the tank with water and let the cycle to begin. I will begin posting updates as I go.
