Ebony sunrise rocks... sounds lavish.

I tend to stack my rocks forming teepees with one large chunky rock at the bottom, then each of them leaning on each other. You can make more caves with less rocks and they tend to be more stable than trying to stack them horizontally. They look more natural too imo.

ok, I set it up tell me what you guys think. do I need to stack more rocks to make it higher? I was gonna add some fake plant but the girlfriend said this is good enough, anymore stuff would be overdoing it.

sorry for the crappy iphone quality

i used to have this monsterous rock structure i would build it was pretty cool and the fish seemed to like it.. but it got old and annoying having to break it down all the time to clean properly and that was before i discovered my love for grey lace rock

I've got rocks in a few of my tanks:

I have a 60 gal mbuna tank and a 29 gal that I just set up, and it will soon have tangs.

So far I've been pretty happy with the rocks, but I did have a bit of a rockslide from the recent earthquake. Any suggestions/observations are welcome!
