So true Chris, so true. I am going to create separate pieces on a table outside my tank and then have my husband put them in the tank. I am going to cover the inside front panel with posterboard because I learned that lesson the hard way. I have aquascaped and re-aquascaped a 75 and a 90 and I have redone the aquascape in this tank a couple times, just never with dry rock. So we were always rushed and anxious. Looking forward to this process. I am going to place the rock in the tank then lay down the sand, and then start filling the tank. It is going to be a long day.
Make sure you take pictures along the way as you try different layouts. It will help you see what worked and did not and help you remember when you finally glue it.
