LOL LOL I think that's what finally drove me away from cichlids..... I just got tired of looking at tanks full of rocks. ;D ;D ;D

Yeah...rock tanks. I had a couple of them. The cichlids used every opening as a "catch me if you can" area to charge around through. ::)

Texas holey rock, baby! I brought a bunch back from San Antonio a few years back!
I have a 125 gal. show tank that is full of holey rock. Need to find more for some other tanks. Trouble i have is keeping the holey rock looking white.
White...yes! I used to take all of it out a couple times a year to scrub and bleach it. That was a big job.
