Nice!  Are those rocks stacked, or siliconed together?

Siliconed together. My husband got really creative with mixing the colors (types) of rock and the ways he stacked them. Ok, now here is the big question.......I would like to add plants to the tank for a couple reasons....but I'm sure that the fish will tear them apart...will floating plant particles destroy a filter?

Try a few plants (cheap ones).  Depending on what species of fish you're buying, they may or may not be OK.
