Ive also seen a slanted scape that was stunning but they were using shelf rock.
ya, I think one of the things I will realy miss will be having a tang in the tank, I have always had either a yellow or a achielies.. but 27 is just not enough room.. so now I have to figure out something else to graze the rock.

one idea I had was to build some home made rock to cover the 3 sides and bottom of the tank to make a "u" and then have some real rock to build it out where I want it to project towards the front of the tank.

this would give me the same effect as a bare bottom with out actualy having one. this would also give me a good base to drill into for support rods if I wanted to do some wild rock structure.

who has made home made rock, how did it turn out and what recipe did you use?
