Bare Rock Aquascape Shots
I'm redoing my rockwork and need inspiration so post pics of your aquascape before you added livestock (and after shots). Columns are all the rage right now but I don't think I'll be drilling any rock. Could epoxy some stuff together maybe or use ties.

Here's mine. I used 1/2" acrylic rods through the rocks.
![]() sorry, no after stocking pic, since I just put water in this 2 weeks ago, it's still cycling.

Here's a couple pics of my columns of 170 pounds LR in a 180 gallon corner pentagon which were drilled for 1/2" PVC. I had a great wall before, so the lawn gnomes were already in and attached hence, no pre-livestock shot.
Here's a relatively current shot (February) after filling in and growing out for 18 months ![]() The corner shape does allow more flexibility in depth of rock structure, but creates some distinct flow issues. Good luck
