Hi, was hoping to get some thoughts/ideas on my plans to permanently aquascape my rock.

I purchased the aquarium used and wasn't able to adhere the rocks in place due to needing to get it set back up and fish back in, but I had planned to go back and do it.

I'm at that point now and as you can see my tank sits up against my entertainment system and the wall. So I really only have the front and one side visible.

I was thinking about having a island of rock up against the glass and extend out from the side glass against the entertainment center or from that back corner.

This would maximize my viewing area from the front and from the side down the back of the tank.

Thoughts? Issues with flow?


Thanks!

A drawing of exactly what you're trying to say would help. I personally do not clean my back glass - so - putting an island there to me seems fine. I see what you mean about the entertainment center. In the end it comes down to 'what you like'. I don't see a problem doing what you plan though - from the viewing end. Flow might be more difficult.
