Okay, opinion wanted. I want a sand path--front, corners and then front to back. I'm thinking of using dragonstone rubble, glued in sections to help keep substrates separated. Plants will be on one side, sand the other. I can make it 11/2-2" tall, so some of the rocks will show--sand lower...

only issue with cichlids is shrimp and maybe messing the substate/plants

More progress-not directly for the tank. Emptied by 2 60 gal storages. I want to start with fresh water. Changed the cartridges on my rodi. Might need to replace membrane. No pressure!! And the 2 TDS are not working. Hope that's all it is. Cleaned out my brutes. Might get rid of 2 of them...

Tank is now on the stand. It was a bit nerve-wracking as my engineer hubby used his cherry picker to lift it! He did this years ago with my 125 saltwater tank (no longer have) but that was in the living room and this tank is in a 10x10 office. We shoved my desk against a wall and barely had...

Okay, this is closer to what I'll do. Need to make smaller chunks of rocks for the path and not sure on the stones front left. Might place them around and let them add texture/depth with plants around them? Hoping this weekend to get the tank moved up onto the stand. Driftwood going into the...
