Its very pleasing to see a mock tank made (As rough it is) the main thing its tank size, strong and very workable especially with all those rocks one slip could have easily mean one busted glass tank even a scratch could result in a crack when the water is added.
I have several suggestions for you
Rocks 1&2 a little more upright to get a little more height plus the main focal point would be in the top centre of the No 2 rock red circle.
The blue line is a very rough curved eye flow. Your rock placement is giving you a big dip in the centre.
My suggestion would be swap rocks 3&4 over it just might work.
All the rock chips works very good.

What lovely rocks you have. Definitely making more of the natural features in this composition.

Really? It looks like expensive Frodo rock or something. Where did you get it from?

I think it’s the darker part at the top of the rock, but the one on the back right leaning in looks as though it’s in front of the rock that is in front. Or is it just my eyes that are being tricked?

Seeing it's "Limestone" I would certainly run the plants and fish you would like to have in that tank.
Some people are never ready for some reason they are never happy and in the end they just give up and finish with an aquascape far worse than one they had completed previously.
When you set that up in your tank leave pockets between the rocks for your plants.

Hi all,
cheers Darrel
It won't have much effect on water chemistry, its Carboniferous age and really hard.

Sweet! A bit of moss, buce or anubias nana petite and other plants to go in the gaps will really help this tank look mature and natural. I hate my nano until all the gaps were fired and now I love it! It completely changes the Scape aesthetic

Any progress on this? Realy like the rock layout, though can't help thinking some manzanits would look great with it!? What are your plans 're planting?
See what you think...
