    yes different than last year, this one "hopes" with an 's'. The idea is the same as last year scape, I wanted to create some kind of light tunnel, dark in front and very bright at the back.

    Re: 3ft - Hopes

    Any tips on how you secure the rocks to stack it so vertically? And what you used to fill up the empty space behind both sides of the rocks? (substrate?styroform?egg crates?)

    Re: 3ft - Hopes

    Nothing special, no special trick. For the start, you need to have large rocks collection and then just stack it up. Big rocks below, smaller rocks on top. The rocks stack is stable by it self, meaning I do not need to have support behind. Actually I can just leave space behind the rocks empty but I need to maintain low pH, that is why behind is full of ADA Amazonia all the way to the top.

    Below is the amount of rocks I used. As you can see, most of them are really-really big, many of them are 40cm long.
