Lol rock scape...

I dumped all the rock in one spot because I have junk in the way everywhere else and my step-stool is too wide to unfold behind the tank I'll have to find a narrower one or build that sliding bench thing I had planned on. My bet at this point is a narrower stool I'm getting lazy!

Just wanted to lay it out and get lots of flow on it. This weekend's not looking good but I hope to do the scape the following weekend.

As for salt I think I used around 2.75 buckets. My kids were doing salt shots too I sorta lost track near the end!

I figured you'd get a laugh from that. I assumed you had just dumped the rock in.

Well now I'm leaving it! See how you like them rocks

I'm wondering if most people climb into the water when scaping a filled tank of this size?

I only ever climbed in to clean mine of the all the construction dust. For aquascaping though I did don a mask and snorkel at times. I staged most of my rock on the floor first, and that had its pluses and minuses. (As you probably remember, so I guess I don't have to tell that story over again...)

I've never been inside mine, but mine's smaller and I'm fat.

Plus you have a tendancy to break your tanks without climbing inside them
