This week I'm going to tell the police your back garden is full of dead nuns and I'll do it in a weird, spooky voice so they have to believe me. All that new decking will have to come up.

Looks perfect, Sanjay.

That nice open rock structure offers plenty of room for corals to grow, plenty of room for fish to swim, and it will allow for good flow and no detritus accumulation.

I bought the Thorite General purpose at a local hardware store.

call the company and ask them for a distributor near you.

Sanjay, you planning on having a sandbed? And what are the brick looking things that you used as a base for the rocks?
