![]() Great looking tank and stand. I am thinking of doing some of that stone stuff around my fireplace - seeing your stand it makes me think maybe I should do some around my tanks as well.

![]() Thanks for all your comments.
The tank has been running now for about 5-1/2 months now. Maintinence is quite simple at all water changes and dosing are performed in the basement. Since the tank has been set up, I have only spot cleaned the sand twice. The glass is cleaned every 3-4 days as required. I really like the look of the stacked stone, it really gives a natural texture to the room. Infact I'm planning on replacing the tile on my fireplace and installing the same rock I used on the tank to tie the two together. One other major change I plan for the system is to upgrade my lighting to the same fixture but in the 250W version - I will end up selling the 150W light system.

![]() I think I now have a plan for my unfinished wall around my tank! Eldorado Stone sounds much easier that doing more sanding and mudding!
Want to come clean my tank too! ![]() Nice setup, love the stone. |

If your thinking of going stone, I would be glad to answer any questions you may have. I was a little intimidated at first as I have never worked with stone, tile or alike but I wanted the look of stone and I was determined to learn...

![]() I do have a few ?'s.
What kind of store do you find that at? Specialty? Hardware? Landscaping? Where should I start looking? How do you cut it to size? Masonry/Cemend blades? What kind of glue, and do you know if it can stick to walls, or should I put up wood first? |

![]() IXL showroom (8605 Coronet Rd) has a large display of different cultured stone. Believe it was a Owens Corning product when I was looking at but they have a link to Eldoradostone.
