Rocking rocks. I like the angle of all of them, it seems like they are all one and continue below the aquarium. What are you planning on filling it with?

Do you mean fish?

Yes, fish. Or are you displaying just plants and rocks? I really do like the rock placement. I'm trying to figure out where to put mine right now.

What kind of rock is that? It looks absolutely GORGEOUS. Love the way you pooled the sand weird
Those rocks I import them from China, I don't know the english name for them, but they do come with some of them are not as smooth ( Like the one from ADA and AGA contest) I do lots of import from over sea. As far as fish go I will put about 100 rummy nose and few cleaning fish and few shrimps in this tank and that's about it for now. I only used 7 different kind of plants to scape this tank. Hope you guy enjoy this.

Thank you

If you can bring the rocks you got to me we can work together, and we also can learn from each other. I always learn new things from another hobbier, think its the beauty of this hobby.

Since I saw your post with the old display I was wondering who is this guy with the wonderful planted tanks. Now the mistery is solved!(a little bit late, because shame on me I didn't follow your topics).
Good job Jimmy!
I usually shop on line but your store is my favorite in the area. Nice stuff and the best prices in the area, sometimes cheaper than the online stores!
