Hi Robbo

the Malawi tank looks disjointed in both pics :B sorry

but it seems to lack flow with the rock work

Geo tank looks sweet, nice wood :thumb

Tang tank right idea stacked to one side, just make sure

that nothing will slip with those rocks :thumb needs sand

sifters maybe some Xeno's :yes:

I thought the rockwork in the first two shots were very contrived and unnatural as Chris said. Can't help but be amazed at how often I agree with your comments Chris.

The tank with the wood looked much better, as did the last shot with the large lucky stones built up at the left. The only suggestion I would have to improve it is, with any tank rockwork it’s best to stay with one type/colour of rock for uniformity – though in the case of this tank, once the rocks are covered in algae they will match pretty much colour-wise. There is one smaller rock sitting at front left on top of a much larger rock, that looks a bit delicate in its placement. With fluvial rocks (rounded) you need to take a lot more care in rock placement so they CAN’T fall off.

I’ve got some spawning moss you can have when I see you on the weekend if you want it for your SA tank?

Agree with Craig and Chris... I particularly agree with the colour idea whereby rocks should be of very similiar shades in colour to make the tank look more aesthetically pleasing. If you plan on keeping them in there for a while and don't clean them then the will eventually all turn the same colour in time. But that could take some time indeed.
