As many of you know I was planning to redo the rockwork in my 265G tank.
I went out and bought 100lbs of Delaware river rock, removed all the slate, lace and Texas Holey Rock from my tank and put it all back in again.
My back was in bad shape I was done but I think it came out OK.
All the fish are on the top because I was in the room and they want to eat.
I did manage to catch two holding Ps. Williamsi females.....first clutch...so excited.

The cap is off in these pics because my back can't deal with putting it back up.

There has to be at least 500lbs of rock in there.

Looks good. Be interesting to get a pic or vid when they're not up looking for food.

I know what you mean about the back ache. I had surgery on mine a few years ago and coincidentally re-worked the rock in my 125 on Sunday afternoon.

Excellent rock work, that is some load... 300 -- 500 pounds of rocks ? .... so how many gallons of water do you think you now have in the tank ?

Looks good.

You might put a water pump or two somewhere behind the rocks (in a place that you can remove and clean it) to keep crud from accumulating in the rocks...
