Thanks a lot!

I saw some neat ideas on backgrounds and my options are still open as there is 30" or so behind the tank. It will be an in-wall eventually.

I fit the rock carefully and used a fair amount of silicone and it is very strong. The upper right piece is probably over 10 lbs and is held only with silicone.

I've left room for a bottom to top branching structure in the middle but need to source this stuff first.

How is the bond between the silicone and the glass and rock on rock? Never throught of using silicone before.
