The rocks are 1 layer thick lol. It's the gravel thats a lot, it's been built up towards the back of the tank to give it a gentle slope.

both look great, like the first one, do you have problems keeping it clean? looks very clean in the pic but looks like those rocks could collect detritus.

The ground feeders (sucking loach) and a few small bottom feeders do a good job of keeping them clean.

Every month i also vac out the rocks, along with a 50% water change every 3rd week in the month just to make sure pollutants are not building up.

I was going to ask about the cleaning too - I really like the look but would be afraid that I had hidden debris problems below the stones. How long have you had it set up?

It's been setup now for about 6 months. with regular vaccuming and water changes plus bottom feeders the debris dont get a chance to build up.

One thing that you can't see is between the rocks there are places for small fish to get in-between most of them which futher cuts down the chance of debris collecting.

Regular tests allert me when anything is building up in the tank so i can eliminate the problem before it gets a grip.

Nice tanks, I have the same rock thats pictured in your first tank in my Oddball tank. I purchased mine from a Garden Centre, looks good and was very cheap and makes excellent caves.
