Well I just ordered some rock up from Bulk Reef Supply.  I ended up getting the reef saver rock and I can say that its some great rock.  I know I cant go out and get my own rock because I dont live in Utah anymore.  So I had to do what I can.  This is going in my 90gal tank witch is still down there in Utah.  I plan on picking it up in November when I come down there to visit and maybe hit up the meeting that weekend.  But anyways I have a couple of months to play around with a aquascape.  This is my first one that I put together and I really like it.  I know I will need to get some more rock for it but let me know what you think about it.

As always let me know what you like about it and also what you dont like about it.  Tell me what you would do to make it look better or to get better flow.  I think that I done a good job for getting flow around it but a extra set of eyes is always better.  So give it to me good or bad.

I have seen that rock on BRS and it looks pretty cool and the structure you built looks great. The BRS video on building structures with it makes it look amazingly simple to create arches and caves. Is the rock as easy to stack as they claim and is the structure stable or will it require cementing? I have used LBTR, Vida Rock and have been thinking of trying some of that product as well. Please keep us informed about how you like the product.

Its easy to stack just like they show.  There is so many holes in this rock you can hold it up to the light and see pinholes through it.  So far just from looking at it I really like it.  I can tell that its from a old reef.  There is corals that have grown around shells that are in it.

Looks great!

Its 80lbs there.  When I get home I will take some close up pictures of the rocks so you can really see it.  And I will use my good camera and not my cell phone like the pictures above.  But I had to jump on the free shipping that they had for the month of August.  So I could order more rock with out having to pay shipping.  But Im thinking that Im going to need another 40lbs or so for my 90gal but who knows.  Im going to wait until I get water in my tank before I order more because it might look just right with the amount that I have in there.

It makes me giggle to see another hobbyist like me. So excited that he puts rock together on the floor, because he can't wait to get a tank! Wink
I also like the design.

Here are some close up pictures that I said I would.  Sorry they just took me a little longer than I had planned.
