Hi Dave! Maybe this can help you?


I went with CaribSea and their caves but was not entirely satisfied with the size and the future prospects of fish growing, so i ended up making some myself out of Aquaforest rock. Suited my need better!

I made caves out of the Aquaforest flat peices.. Don't know where you are in the UK but I have tons of it sitting in a large barrel curing for future projects!

You don't need to cure it, it is all my leftovers! Make them nice and ready so i have mature rock on hand should i decide to set up another tank ;-)

Yeah definitely room for a wee bit more! Looking at playing around with the CoralWall and all my flat rocks.. Seems like a fun project!

I used flat pieces of rock to build up under the cave sides to elevate the cave to allow room for them to enter. otherwise the opening of the cave is small about 3"-4" high.
you can see the cave on the right side of the picture

You'll get a lot of flat bits in that box, but with creativity you can make something amazing out of it i'm sure! Best of luck mate!

I buy whatever is on sale, break it into varying pieces and shapes. Then glue it back together with super glue, baking soda, and JB water weld to make caves, overhangs, etc. exactly how I want them.
