your rock formations are really nice-- are you using anything special to hold them that way (like a pvc tube or anything)?

Thanks folks. No PVC or putty was used, just good old fashioned placement and balance. I was really, really picky with the rocks I choose (either out of my old 55 gallon or my LFS).

I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to create visually (all the tank pics here helped a lot), so I'm very happy with the outcome. The biggest challenge was deciding which SINGLE fish I would keep in this 8 gallon. I'm very happy with her too.

Here's the 2.1 L.E.D. It would actually fit in the 8-gallon hood (pointing downward), but I wanted to get more light 'depth' in the refugium, so I velcroed it to the back glass. In any case the Cheeto is growing quite well.
