my wife has always done the rock work and we are super happy with the final result. all stacked locked in with no glue,putty or anything.
it definitely is a lot of rock but we went minimal with the rock in our last redo and liked it but preferred the previous ones we had with more rock

pardon that custom cardboard surround but had to make it somewhat cat proof.

the water level is low while I was making more water but had the mp40wqd keeping things moving

Untitled attachment 00040.jpg

the plan is to have 6 radion xr30 pro's so. I wanted a mount that I could easily adjust and point the light in different directions so I came up with this.
I ordered some out door speaker mounts and made a plate to mount to the light from 1/4'' acrylic.

made this part of the mount to sit inside the canopy out of black 1/2'' corian material
