I've been out of the hobby for nearly 20 years, but now gathering steam for a new nano peninsula tank.

I have my shopping list of needs but literally the first thing I bought and created was my marco rock aquascape. I could not wait to start breaking rocks and fitting together.

Like a kid in a candy store....insane or normal?

Whatever gets you excited. Not a horrible idea as it will need to be soaked for a while to get anything to leach out that can cause issues in a nano tank.

Marco rock is super clean out of the box and just needs to be rinsed for dust..

Sounds normal to me. After making my first aquascape that wasn’t just randomly stacked rocks, I found that I actually enjoy doing it.

Aqua scaping is a love/hate thing for me. I have a lot of ideas but the perfectionist in me is fighting with the creative side most of the time.

The struggle of deciding what looks best/natural and provides a good fish habitat and has a lot of options for coral placement at all levels of the scape stresses the overthinking portion of my brain. lol.

Wet rock starts the process, I'd say you're on the right track.
