Rockscape frustration

[Cmartin]

Does anyone else get frustrated with rockscaping thier tank? My 28 gallon Nano is ticking me off!

Every time I look at my tank I think about moving rocks.

Serious I just spent a hour moving things around and I already decided I'm going to do it again tomorrow. I'm gonna get rid of the smaller rocks and use a few bigger rocks from my larger tank but no mater what i do it always seems like a pile of rocks and not like a real reef!:alberteinstein:

It is a challenge. One thing I see that I like over and over again is swimming space between rocks. A well as a somewhat open back. In other words, full access for fish.
Remember no one placed the rocks at the natural reefs. They naturally or supernaturally occured.

Initially it took me 4 hours to do when I first setup my tank. I just redid one side last week and took me 2 hours. I am really picky at this stuff and takes me a long *** time to do hahah... Im crazy!:beer:

hint: if yu can take some pieces out n work outside of tha tank on tha floor or a table its a lot less frustrating. ur arms won't cramp up n ur fingers won't get all wrinkled as quick. I did this with several sps colonies still attached to tha rocks leavin them out of water for around 20 mins.. aquamend n lots of superglue gel did wonders for me. gudluck with tha scape n post pics!
