Made good use of a water cycle and built up some caves/arches with some lava rock purchased at a local landscaping store. The guys are absolutely loving it!

Love it, I need to re-aquascape my tank, I get bored so quick. What type of lighting is that, looks very cool & not too intense.
Believe it or not, it's just good ol' Marineland "Natural Daylight" hood bulb. These pictures were taken at night, so that could have calmed any inherent harshness that cheap bulbs typically have..

Always had trouble with eye scratches using lava rock ??
Nope, it's never been a problem... Lava rock has great size to weigh ratio and can really stack and assemble, it's a win/win for my guys.

Tank looks great fish look great also. Can they dig under the rocks and cause problems?
