Looks good!

Im thinking about using they same type of stone in my tank but Im concerned about food falling down in the cracks, getting stuck, and rotting as I primarily feed chopped shrimp. Ive only had tanks that were bare bottomed, sand, and fine gravel so excuse me for sounding dumb but you cant actually gravel vac that can you?

BTW where is your NGT in the after shots?
