Aquascaping is driving me bananas

That is all .

Not sure if I should have gone with a different type of rock or what. I have 22lbs of Fiji and 40lbs of Carribean rock. I just can't seem to get it the way I would like. I have an overflow that is dead center in the tank, I think that is part of my troubles. Also I have one rock that is just too large, I need to break it up.

I'm just venting here guys and girls. I have it temporarily scaped. I will post pics on Sunday night(when I get my borrowed camera back).

If it fits in the tank i's not to large! You will always think it could be better just take pics for reference before moving so you can refer back if you need to.

Thats true on both counts. I'll just play around with it for a few days.

That's a great idea. I usually wind up liking my first design best and can never seem to replicate it

For me it was alot easier to have someone kind of watch from a few feet back. Even doing that way it took me several days a few hrs at a time to get everything just so. Some two part epoxy works wonders to hold pieces of rocks together for caves and such.
