So I got 25 gallons of water into the tank and then decided that I was going to put rock along the sides.....
So last night, I pulled the water out, and dried it out.....then tonight I got busy cutting and breaking up the rock that I wanted along the tow sides.......anyway, I have a few pictures....
This is the glue I used
you have to wet the surface down a little first

OK, I have made some leaps and bounds.......here are some pics...
Layout the rocks before the glue is added
then spray the area to lightly dampen it
Use your credit card to spread it around, I prefer Visa. 
Then glue, stick the rocks in place with glue on the backs, and then pour the sand all over it....you will have to keep an eye on it because bubbles try to push up, and you need extra sand to pour on top of these
Dump the sand out and this is what you are left with
Now with the lights on
I also got the substrate in and just want to leave the whole thing over night so I am sure it cures all the way through.......I will be doing the plumbing tomorrow and adding water tomorrow night.......
