I like the shallow part. I have a tank similar to that that a few friends and I made...and made 3 at once. 96x48x18. Still sitting in my folks basement...like alot of other empty tanks from my african cichlid days.

you know what I was picturing! what would it look like if yo took rock and sawed it flat on the bottom and then covered most of the bottom of the tank in it so that you are almost entirely coverd in rock with verry little lanes through the entire thing! I think if it were done right it could look pretty awesome....

yeah! its gonna be hard to explain but I was thinking a rock bed instead of a sand bed. if you took all your neatly shaped rock and sawed off the very bottoms of them so that they lay almost flat and just peiced them together so that from front to back(48") there was nothing but rock then in just two or three areas make small clearings. I have never seen it done but I think for a down view tank it would be awesome. you wouldnt have to stack at all so this would give you more swimmng room for the fish and lots of area for livestock. you could saw some rocks shorter then others put some together to make caves! I think it could be awesome!!! I hope Im making sense!?

So my rock is spread out on the bottom rather than islands, right? One issue to be addressed would be plumbing, but it would give more space for corals. In the end it would look like wall to wall corals. I've seen a tank like that. I'll see if I can get the guy to send a pic.
