Thanks! 
It is a real pain to aquascape! I hate messing with it and if I get it to somewhere I actaully like, I try to leave it alone. Inevitably something happens in time that causes you to have to move one piecs and it's all over! 
I few new rocks may help! I like big, tall rocks with shelves or openings. They really seem to help the look!

Best advice I can give you Joanne while you're trying to quit (other than the normal advice you get from everyone) ... keep your sense of humour!! When I quit once before (many years ago) I did it cold turkey. After the first few weeks it's a smoother road.
Chant ..... I'm going to think about all the corals I can buy with the money I would have spent on smokes!!!
LOL Good luck girl!

The coffee is just starting to kick in and I could use one of your patches too Joanne. You're very right about those things needing to be applied before awakening. That's my problem with quitting .... I just can't get past those first 2 in the morning with my coffee.

Good Morning LRN!

Hey Eric, I had my water tested and my calcium is at 450 and my mag perfect for that number he said (can't remember if it was 1200 or 1600??)
|
For a Ca reading of 450, your Mg should be around 1350.

Thanks! I try. Beauty is all in the eye of the beholder they say. It really just depends what look you're going for. For instance, The Girls' Tank we really didn't even try to aquascape it. We just plopped in what extra we had. It has that tumbled rock look, but it's kind of natural looking too and I like it.

How true! Move 1 thing and the look you liked is gone! 
Boy! I have some big rocks you'd absolutely love then Eric!

I wish I had taken a pic of the two rocks I got yesterday before I put them in the tank. They are huge!
