Very risky after you put water, cut the thermocol where you dont have the rocks. Sand will not be able to hold the thermocol from floating.

Whats that sand???

Put some thin slate rocks over the thermocol to prevent it floating.

Almost 55 kgs of rocks .... I doubt whether thermocol will float after puting water.....still will cut the excess part 2 b in safe side........



Rajivji these rocks may look like having sharp edge .but in actual edges r quite blunt .... Many people have been using them in tang set up...don't think they will b any problem....

u need 2 b careful while selecting fishes ...... like julidochromis which dwells among rocks ....... still i won't say Cichlid tank without cover is good as eventually people will tend to keep different types of species like Cyprichromis which is a notorious jumper ........but as long as my choices of fishes r Julidochromis , Brichardi i feel it's safe....
