It's all up to you. Not everyone like the same thing. That what makes every tank unique.

Re: Aquascaping

That's really the only way to do it to ensure stability. It's not like you can have it slanting in the other direction, with only a little piece of rock on the bottom and huge rocks overhanging.

Re: Aquascaping

Your engineering diagram is a marvel of the modern age. Seriously, some people drill holes in the rock and use a metal rod to hold it vertical.

Re: Aquascaping

i dont think they use metal rods, i think they use acrylic rods. Metal would cause a major problem in your tank.
