just a suggestion with 'scaping. In addition to the whole hulk smash idea. I've really become a fan of tanks with not a whole helluva lot of rockwork. The nano has MAYBE 2lbs in it. and the 50 gallon I'm working on will have 25-30.... maybe try that route?

I'm with you on not going overkill with rock, I'm not keeping all 130lbs of rock. I had my heart set on creating a "bonsai" inspired look after following a thread on RC but I honestly don't think I'm going to be able to replicate it.

Sounds like a cool stocking list....why dont you think you will be able to replicate the rockwork you like?

Thanks, I love the threadfin cardinals, they've remained in a tight school even in my 90g and they're the only inhabitants. I can't wait to get a bangaii pair, should happen fairly soon. As for the gumdrop coral groucher, he's MIA.

As for the rock scape...........too much work and not enough patience

That Bonsai tank on RC is a gorgeous tank... Forgot about it until you linked to it... If that's your inspiration, I say go for it, even if it is a bit more work..

If you would have told me two years ago that I was gonna spend the better part of an entire w/e doing my aquascaping, I would have said you are crazy.....but thats what I did....it was a total PITA and caused me all sorts of frustration but I am soooo happy I spent the time to do it the way I wanted.
