    you're nuts, because they look awesome for your first time!! just remember, they say the first time is always the worst, and i would take that as my worst any day love the placement of the rock panels, but i would slide the back wall all the way to the right . if you plan your waterfall right, you can cover the gap left over with a nice plant or vines or sumpin. i think it is looking better and better oh, and the plant that would be killer in your other viv? ficus benjamina

    Thank you! You have some really good ideas and you have been a big help! I am so anxious to get this thing done! I am trying not to rush though because I don't want to mess it up. I think in a little bit I will go spray the pieces with sealer so tomorrow I can silicone them in the tank. Now to look up Ficus Benjamina...

    I'm glad I could pleasure you! LOL! I love the ficus but I don't think I can put anything in that tank because I got everything in there from the woods and didn't sterilize any of it before I put it in there. I would love some glass frogs though! I wonder if anywhere around here sells those ficus plants...
