I'm very excited about the new look to my 125. Found those giant rocks in a retention stream out in a field this afternoon, and thought I could do a lot with them. After about an hour of treating them for chemicals and washing them down thoroughly, I formed a cavelike structure with 6 or 7 entrances. Right now, my Black Spotted Eel loves the freedom, as well as the protection it gives him. All of my fish have been swimming happily inside and out.

You guys have any suggestions for the rest of the tank? Right now it's stocked with 2 Convicts, 4 Golden Labs, a JD, a Frontosa, a Black Spotted Eel, and a Chipokae. I've been slowly selling all of my Africans so I can convert into a SA/CA, so that's why it's mixed right now.

When I am able to sell the rest off, do you guys have an sticking suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

what if the rocks fall/collasp? you should get some flat river rocks and kinda move things around with those rocks. would look nice. and rearrange those caves/cups on the right side. jmo

The rocks are drilled together. They can't fall. What do you mean, "move things around" with the flat river rocks?

Definitely working on new lighting. The lighting I have going right now is from my previous 55 gallon, and I haven't been able to upgrade just yet. I'm open for many and all suggestions. What kinds of things do you think I can do better?
