Side note before I start my actual post; ok so long story short, I had to euthanize one of my goldfish as he was paralyzed and was slowly declining in the past few months, I didn’t want him to suffer so he was euthanized. This leaves me with 2 fancy goldfish in a 60g cube tank (who are we kidding it was never a good tank for goldfish) and I’m thinking about changing direction with this tank. I am toying with the idea of re-homing the goldfish....been thinking about it really hard...a few times a day....I don’t really want to but think I do, for their sakes of having a more properly suited aquaria....anyways
If I do change directions with this tank it’s going to be difficult to scape as it is 2 feet high, I have an idea I seen on a google pic that I might like to attempt (pic below)
My question lies with the stacked rocks...how to a start the base of the rocks? How do I prevent them from piling over and breaking the glass? How do I prevent mulmun and detritus from building up within the gaps on the rocks? I don’t want to have to un-build the rocks to clean under/between them? What kind of rocks do I use?
Additional information, planning on making it a blackwater tank with a pair of angelfish, mystery snails, and maybe some dithers...obviously this tank is smaller thank my tank but I like the general idea of filling a corner with rocks and driftwood that reach up into the water column
