get some ocean rock for them ! will look better i got 20 kg for 30£ plus postage ;) fish avatar
I love the slate! I have a small cichlid tank set up right now ( I need to post pictures still!) for my yellow lab and I didn't even bother going out and buying rocks & slate for the background.. Since I live in New England it's soo rocky I just went out into my backyard & washed off some rocks & I think it looks awesome! I think you should add some plants in the front corners to add some color to it and fill the space in a little :) fish avatar
