Prowland Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I really like the open look! Link to comment
Asin Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Thanks, Prowland. I do too. Its something different for me, I usually go with the back wall up to the surface. But, I'm going with the open island look. I will attempt to put all rock in the center, with open sand in front and back. We'll see how it goes. -Asin Link to comment

Asin Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Thanks, bro. You know I can always use frags. Anything you got that is small, just keep me in mind!
