Are those real or fake plants?

Love the rock formations. Personally, I am a huge fan of adding plants, and of different sizes. I like to put the really tall ones in back, medium ones in the middle, and small ones up front. Might want a lot of breaks in LOS to prevent boredom and aggression. Just my two cents, love the way it's setup though, I love the rock formations! :D
5.5g: Pond snails
5.5g: Red Cherry Shrimp and Rams
10g: PZ the Pee Wee (DP), Ghost shrimp, Otos x3
36g: Luau the F8, Zebra nerites x8, sometimes a herd of ghost shrimp for food
60g: Perches the starry blenny, 1 watchman goby Snaps the l.c. hermit, 2 emerald crabs, 1 red crab, 2 turbos, 7 asteas, 2 nerites, 2 clown gobies and 2 firefish gobies (upgrading to a 90 gallon reef)

RIP Yoshi, you are dearly missed <3

Just saw this post. LoL at least you got the tank and not just more plants/deco ;)

Just save up for more plants? The small ones that I mentioned are sold by Petsmart for $.99 US. Also, if you have something like Craigslist, people break down their aquariums and sell stuff like plants and decor all the time ^.^ ahaha, at least they are just an inch!

Eeek! You must have bought a brand new tank and stand. Ugh. I wanted to do that at first, but I couldn't realistically afford it = / so I kept looking at craigslist LoL. I was able to find a good tank and stand for $125 (guy knocked off $5 when we got there) so that way I was able to spend the rest on the rock. But you needed something quick and it's a very nice tank ^.^

What an awesome new home for your baby Ceylons. They're going to love it, and they'll have so much room to grow and grow and GROW!
Yo ho, yo ho, a puffer's life for me.

Looks awesome, I think some more rocks and plants would make it look awesome.

Are those rocks glued to each other in anyway? If not id worry about them falling and cracking your tank
