Caribsea Aquascape

[Mattiejay6]

Hey All,

So recently I decided to start a Waterbox 100.3 build. I saw a couple videos on BRStv where Ryan was messing with breaking rock up and glueing/mortaring it back together in cool funky shapes. Well it motivated me to give it a try. Now I didn’t really go to the extent they did, but I did buy a couple boxes of Carib sea arches, 2 shrooms and some rock. I took a hammer and chisel break up the rock and slowly started creating my rock scape.

I am also a Star Wars fan and couldn’t help but add in a storm trooper skull into the scape from Jestersix! Check it out and thanks for looking!

ps. No build thread yet, but soon to come!

Looks great!

There's many people who look at the artificially ornaments and frown on them. BUT I'm not one of them!! I think it looks awesome. It looks like it's molded into the rock like a fossil. I want to rescape my 180 and add some small planes into the aquascape, like they crashed into the reef.

@Pntbll687 I agree entirely! this one was molded out of what ever they use to make those artificial reef rocks out of.. feels very porous and I think its gonna really fill in nicely once I get Coraline growing. my plan is to grow Jedi mind trick on it!

the plane idea would be very cool!

Caribsea rocks are really nice, just installed the 24" arch in my tank after drilling a ton of holes into in. This rock is really so hard to drill! The rocks are really really dense.

Wow great job! Lots of spots for corals, and while I usually don’t like ornaments- that one is pretty neat. Looks like it is part of the rock, I like it! Waiting for a build thread.
