Let me know, can't wait to see the finished product

Well I put in the base rock, placement is not final, and I'm looking for opinions. I don't think I will be adding much more rock than what is in there at the moment, maybe another 60-70 lbs to seed. I figure there is about 150-160 lbs in there now.
Please, let me know what you think, be honest, I am open to suggestions. I think the highest the rock goes is about 12" off the bottom, leaving about 10" of free swimming room around the centre overflow. There are a lot of open spots in the sand as well, I think I have a decent base to work with, but sometimes someone else has a better idea. Thanks.

I'm sorry if I missed it but when you made your overflow rock formation what kinda foam did you use? I have made one the same using rc as my reference but everything I put in there dies. Are you planning on soaking it for a bit or doing any kind of waiting period etc? Thanks and nice tank.

Cool. Are the rods going to be exposed? Or do you plan to cover them with rubble or something?

Aquascape waterfall foam-from what I was told, once it has cured, it's fish safe and ready to go. The guys I know that have used it have had no problems.

Interesting idea Bob with the acrylic rods, but am I the only one that can't see any sand?!?

I like the display.very interesting I would place some sand to cover those acrylics.I think one or two more rocks to make a cave on the right side of this photo.
