growsomething Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Nice! Did you get the rock shipped in water, or packed with wet paper? And are you going to keep it long term? 2 Quote Link to comment

kimdawg Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 How exciting! I love that is so long and on a bookcase. I would have big fluffy pillows on the floor and never move from that spot. 3 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Looks really cool, especially with that backlighting. Any idea if the Mantis is a Smasher or a Spearer yet? 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe it seems off to you because the two structures look kind of similar (almost looks repeating). I might try switching the first and second rocks (nestled together), and then separating the third one from those two (but just a bit, so the spacing isn't all the same). Just a thought. 4 Quote Link to comment

It’s hard to do something amazing with six rocks while also trying to keep the backlight relevant. 😂 6 Quote Link to comment
