so ive had this 10 gallon tank running for a couple years now, just in case i need to separate fish or store some feeders... and its always just been empty with a broken flowerpot and some dirty white gravel... i got bored today and completely redid it...

put some sand in there this time, a few days ago i found a huge piece of holey rock in my back yard, and i pressure washed it, and put it in there, and my aunt gave me a bunch of old sea shells that her grandmother had in an aquarium back in like the 50's... so i put those in there... all in all it looks good i think... its still kinda cloudy but thats what happens when you first put sand in a tank... it should clear up in a few days and be quite nice i think.

Nice job Win... send me some of that rock will ya? that shit costs a fortune on ebay!

lol that piece is like 20lb, as big as my head

Sometimes it seem like everything cost a fortune on ebay. I just well buy the stuff new.

ooooo that rock is scarey, it looks like its got a face lol lol..

putting some grass shrimp in there would give headache to re-catch them

oh that rock is a part of coral...that could alter you pH for a while...

those shell too, have you consume the meat of them? i wish i can put all the shell
of those clams and mussels i ate a few weeks back

it is absolutly not coral, it is texas holey rock. which is basically limestone, which has had water dripped thru it for a couple million years, making it like a honeycomb of passages.
