pegging rock a newbie journey ( sorta )

newsalt1 · 01/30/2014, 02:17 PM

I am in the process of setting up my 120rr that has basically been setting for several years. My once live rock is now basic dry rock and I thought I would try my hand at aquascaping.

Not being very artistic ( Barely able to draw water ) I have been reading and watching everything I can find on aquascaping. So today I decided to try pegging some rock and laying out a design for the rebuild.

Drilling was pretty straight forward but trying to make things look nice is a little harder. Here are some pics of my attempts my wife likes the look and I guess I do too.

What are your thoughts on my feeble attempt to be artistic? The tank will be ready for water in a couple of weeks gathering up stuff I sold or traded away when I got out of the hobby.

The only thing that matters is what you and your wife like.
What is shown in the pictures looks fine.
You and your wife will be the ones gazing into it the most, so just do what pleases the two of you.
