i just got done rescaping my 90. i took out all my old rocks, and put down eggcrate(which was easier than i thought, but not fun to do in an existing tank), and rescaped my tank with limestone. these rocks weigh from about 15lbs to 35lbs... these pics are not the greatest because i just got done filling up the tank, and it is still cloudy from stirring the sand all up. but i wanted to get everyones opions on how it looks... should i add more limestone, if so to what part...
thanks so far for the comments guys... looking through articles, you tube videos, etc, i am trying to make it as natural as passible... it may look bare for now, but don't you think once my fish really begin to color up, it will be a good backdrop... i was going for kind of a bare, colorless background, so my fish will stand out more... i don't have anymore limestone on hand, but i was thinking of maybe laying some flatter limestone of the sand floor, and maybe one more rock on the left side, but i want the 2 sides to be different heights, and i am afraid of stacking any higher on right side, because the rocks are heavy... anyway, that is what i am leaning too... not really sure i want plants in there, but maybe if there are enough of you saying i should, i will
thanks again...
a background will make a huge difference!! Unless you are going to go through the trouble of a rocky type background, I would suggest solid black (just a personal preference)
that background i had laying around, so i used it... i want to make a real rock background, i just don't know how soon i'll get to it... i have a post our there about using plexiglass or real glass to adhear my rocks too, because i really don't want to silicone anything to the tank itself...
thanks for the comments so far guys... i like to get plenty of opinions... i probably won't do any plants(real or fake), and probably no driftwood either... i am liking the simple bolder look.. any comments regarding place of rocks, or add somemore would be great...
there is a background on it... kinda like a rock background with a tree stump or something... not quite sure...
i agree with you too yogurtpooh. that does not make for a real natural cave, but it does make a big cave, and eventually, i will need big caves for a couple of my guys...
