It's hard to make out all the arches and shelves in still pictures, so here's a flying tour...!

Boy I'm glad that is over with! The aquascaping mortar can be such a pain in the butt to work with, but it dries so fast and hard that there really isn't anything better (trust me, we looked!) The biggest problem with any aquascaping putty/mortar is that the rocks are so, well... rocky, that it would much rather stick to you, or whatever implement you're using to apply it. As my husband put it; it's like trying to stick biscuits (US translation: cookies) together with porridge!
