| Well yesterday I tore everything out of the 75g except fish and substrate. I went down to the arroyo and picked up some rocks to re-scape the tank. The substrate is crushed coral mixed with some pea sized natural gravel. Anyway I went to town with it but got the effect for the most part of what I was looking for. I just want to put another background on, just can't find them right now. Anyway the pic is not great but here it goes, p.s. wyite your tank pic inspired me to redo my tank....I have been wanting to do it sense moving. Here it is for real this time!

| Went down to the arroyo (drainage canal) near my house. Just rinsed them really well and stuck them in. If you cant find any outdoors you can get them pretty cheap from most landscape companies.
