    I kinda ( sort of) have the same shape thing that you have.. what i dont like is that mine looks more like a pile..

    i guess what i need is some corals around ( sadly i dont have the lights for them)..

    i like it how you were able to bring the rock foward ( if i make sence ) lol
    thats what im trying to do.. i like it how i have it on my 29G a lot, but i cant seem to replicate that on my 150.. the corner overflows make it harder to do things.. i need somehow to use them in my advantage to make it look good..

    it looks pretty good.. ugh, i really hate it that i cant afford my lights... everything looks so much better with corals in it..:(

    i love your aquascape, if i were to do that however, i would just get. " the wall" lol but since you have corals and stuff, it makes it look really good.

    Don't get down :) I was just showing how I started with a scape I was kinda happy with & then really brought it to life. Yeah lights are expensive but I'm sure you'll get there & it'll be worth it. It's cool looking at all pics and seeing how much things develop.

    You see that little cabbage leather under the hippo in the first pic became that huge colony in the new one under the gramma in a short time.
