    I Love Riverwood Aquatics. Pete's a proper aquascaper with some of the best hardscape in the country. Got my dragon wood, Elderly stone and Chihiros WRBG2 Pro from him. Got my fish from Matt at Maidenhead, Tuanton. It's a small aquascaping world.

    You're doing so well. Between you and Nick from Keeping Fish Simple, you've inspired me to start my own "Nano Tank" business in my garage and spare room. Yours and Matts enthusiasm is infectious.

    First of all I have to say that I love your site and all it’s content, I watch everyone and think all your tanks are wonderful ! I on the other hand I am a complete beginner and have bumped along with every problem known to the fish keeping world. I’ve also nearly pulled my hair out by the huge variation of opinions on ‘what I should do’. As a newbie, it makes your head spin. I certainly don’t want to give up on this hobby, I love the fish and the plants. Anyway, my point is you now have Matt as a great source of knowledge, could he do a segment maybe for complete beginners, who’s tanks don’t just fall into place ?

    No shade at all because your jig saw worked well, but jig saws are generally safer for flat applications or angular planes. You want a reciprocating saw in the future! The same brand makes em and its way safer and will give you more control in the future. Just a heads up!

And those rocks were pretty awesome as well, I'll be looking forward to seeing how you'll use them, and even moreso, how you'll put them in an aquarium safely for the long(er) run, because I can imagine that ridiculous boulder would put some real heavy stress on any tank floor. Now let's just hope you won't both get the giggles again when you're working with those large and heavy pieces otherwise there might be some accidents😝
