Just one man's opinion, but something about round river rocks going vertically just doesn't look too natural. Round rocks just don't stack like that in nature. Looks more like wallpaper or a computer background than an aquarium background. You obviously typically see squared off, flatter rocks stack up in lakes and rivers, or smaller piles of round rocks. Not a vertical wall of round rocks.

Just something to consider before you go through all this trouble. It's pretty. It just doesn't look very natural. If you are cool with that, go for it! Again, just an opinion.

Ya i hear u but for i couldnt find the rocks i was personally looking for. And i think i disagree with it not looking natural where do u think rocks lkke that came from. Granted i could make it more eco friendly for my fish but thats a diff story. And agree with opinion thanks for reply

That looks nice. I'd maybe tail off the lower part more towards the right. I'd also paint the glass black so there was some kind of background where the rocks stop, unless you like being able to see through.

That 10g all done up looks like a little feng shuei (butchered spelling I'm sure) zen garden or something. I like it, but I don't know if I'd have the patience to do it.

Ya i plan on painting back black. I had thought about bringing the bottom out farther but like u said patience is about out lol.
