the over/under on my new rock stack

[jacksonpt]

I re-aquascaped the other day (for a few reasons) and went in a totally different direction. I'm trying to get max flow around the rocks for the least amount of stagnant water/dead spots AND easy placement of corals.

I like the way it turned out, but I'm not using any glue, rods, or other support mechanisms - the rocks are all just set in place.

So the over/under on the rock stack falling in is 3 days. Place your bets, lol. Oh, and the pic is from my phone via picasa - let me know if you can't see it.

Wow very impressive jackson!!

Cute. I think I'd add a "center beam" if you will- I'd be a little nervous the way it stands, too

Looks cool Jackson: I bet it lasts a while. Looks like a Roman arch with the center rock acting as a keystone. Of course the weight may not be evenly distributed which would compromise the structure. Can you put any weight on it? Just don't put your most expensive corals in front of it

Yea, it's the same idea as the arch/keystone, but not as well built because my rocks aren't shaped to fit together so nicely, lol. The only thing I'm worried about is my elegance, everything else is pretty hardy/durable. Even the elegance is fairly resilient, so...
