Default Aquascaping, It's a Love Hate thing

Man, I love to hate Aquascaping. But then, I hate that I love it so much.
I'm so......indecisive LOL

I love to do it the very first time....but the consecutive 60 times after that when one stupid rock falls and I can't quite get it to fit again--that I could do without

me too, that why I just let the wife tell me what goes where. It's easier than going up and down the stool and probably looks better than I could do anyways.

Exactly the same in my house. I find it easier to have someone looking into the tank while I am above it and guiding me as to where to place the rocks. Besides she has a better eye for 'scaping than I do.

I think I've finally solved this ongoing problem. The solution is to buy just a couple really big rocks. Big BIG rocks. Large enough so that for whatever size tank you have you can only fit five of them(at most). For my 120gal I'd love to get my hands on three +/-40 lbs pieces and just be done with it...
