I'm trying so much to build my rock layout, but everything that I build is terrible. Hope someone help me with a good layout. There's all my rocks in the picture. The paper is the size of my display (60 cm x 30 cm)

Any chance you can get rocks that have more surface area? Those rocks look pretty flat. In addition to harboring less bacteria, they might also be more difficult to aquascape with.

It’s not the artist, it’s the tools! Lol.

that looks like a good rock skeleton. to finish it off i owud get some peices of live rock to give it more shape and they can rest on the dry rock skeleton and make the aquascape mroe rigid. it will have good flow passing through it though
