Another NSA broken rock aqua scape!

pgravis · Jan 11, 2021

Like many, I tried my hand at a new aquascaping method. It was both harder and more enjoyable than I anticipated. Getting started was a bit tough, but once you start, it kind of takes off. When I ordered rock and glue, the super glue accelerator was sold out, so I made my own with some baking soda and water. Worked well enough. Still waiting on the mortar to come in, was finally able to order it on Friday, as it’s been sold out. I also decided to add some real reef branches, as I really love the shape and look of them.

Nice work. Reef branches are a great place to start encrusting corals.

Loving the aquascape, friend! Nice build for great flow. Looking forward to what it becomes

Wow, that is really impressive! Is that going in a 60 cube?

Thanks! It’s a custom build slightly bigger than a 60. It is 29x24x24.

I love that the colors are different. It adds dimension.

Very true! I love this structure but my ocd would take over. Same reason I've been working on gluing rock then breaking it apart repeatedly for months now lol.

Yeah. It is a bit distracting, but I’m hoping the rock colors up and it blends together. I couldn’t resist adding the branch rock, I love the look of that stuff. Especially real reefs newer shapes.
