    Now would be a great time to build some PVC rock stands (like the ones Amphibious made) to keep the rock from getting worked under the substrate and developing those nasty black sulfurous pits that crash tanks. If you make them about an inch shorter than your sand bed (I assume you are going for a DSB) then when it compacts it'll be perfectly level with the tops of the pipe. I prefer drilling large holes in the sides of the pipe to let the sand critters go in and out as they please. The other 15 Kg will be good, but I would stack them in a way that gives you holes and caves, maybe a channel through the back so you can add a small powerhead in the rock work (make it easy to get to!) to keep dead spots to a minimum. I like making lots of little ledges in my rock to put corals on. It's pretty sic that you put together a better than average aquascape in six minutes!

    Thanks for that. I just tend to throw the rocks together and it seems to work out.

    Hey Kevin,

    Nice additions. I don't like to add water from the bags into my aquarium. I'm a big advocate of using a quarantine tank but even then I think that dumping the water from the bag into the tank runs the risk of introducing disease, parasites or things like copper into your tank.
