Looks great! I also have a 57g and am curious how many pounds of rock you used

Beautiful updates as always. Thanks for sharing the videos, it really shows off the tank so well.
Hi,

Thanks for the very kind words...Yes, I would love to teleport you all here to see in person, but this is a decent substitute :)

Hi,

Thanks for the compliment...Well, Seiryu stone is dense/heavy and the big stone on the left is buried mostly in the substrate. I would say between 100 and 125 lbs, iirc. No less than 100 for sure.

Tom laid the rock work and THEN poured bags of ADA over it.

I like the tank itself, is a deep blue with 3 sides low iron glass. Nice dims on it at 36x18x18.

The scape is now a year old but the plantings are not that old :) I have experimented a lot until I found this combo that I like (and does well for me lol).

Take care.
