Did you use epoxy or just tied it?

I used epoxy. Been zip tying each addition.

My arch isn't what I want yet. It'll get there.

Ya know when you find that perfect piece that just fits? Like a puzzle.

Yes! I do! The left side of my aquascape. In the LFS the two pieces were an exact fit. Even the protrusions matched up nicely.

I drilled holes and used fiberglass rods to make my magnifica tower and hammer tree. I opted not to epoxy anthing above the base so I could swap out rocks if I wanted.

That is awesome. Very nice job!

Thank you, I looked through so many aquascape threads and tried to follow the rule of thirds for my show pieces or gardens. I created a vision and went for it.

Thanks! After drilling and using the rods I don't think I'll ever set up another scape with out it. I found some white rod too and was able to avoid using blaze orange. I drilled so many rocks just to play with it was like Reef Legos. But with the tower I had a specific vision of an anemone tree lol

Did you drill each rock individually? Did any of them break?

Yeah I drilled each one. I didn't have any breaks. I went easy on the pressure and let the drill bit do the work. I used a diamond masonry bit. Go slow and hold the rock tight or get someone else to hold it.

I presume drill it wet?

How many of y'all use live rock in your sump? I have one rock in my tank that I hate. I don't really want to give up the bacteria in it though. It's about 10 years old.

I got a ton of rock in my sump. its unused branch, probably 20lbs worth.

Things move slow in politics (and they should), but it is coming. Funny, I bet you a dollar prices go UP!

 

[Katrina71]

Demand will be high, so yes, I'll bet they go up too.
