![]() WOW! That looks really great! Like to rock work for the stand. How many lbs of rock for the stand? Aquascaping looks nice too.

![]() That's pretty amazing. I like it. I'm guessing that's rock veneer. I was looking to get some for my wall.

Its Eldorado Stone, cultured stone. It weighs less than half of real stone. Basically its what is commonly used for exterior commercial & residential construction because its lighter and way cheaper than real dry-stack stone. The cost of the rock was about $300 and is directly glued to 3/4" plywood substrate with PL400 construction adheasive. It was very easy to install - no messy mortar to deal with.

![]() I love room dividers, one day I'll have a nice big walk around cube (hopefully). How long has it been setup?
I think the life preserver is a nice touch too. ![]()

![]() 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.
