Dry rock help

[Frederick Edwards]

Aquarium is 41" x 24" x 24". I will be purchasing from Marco Rock and would like some help with what I will need form them. What sizes, shape, weight with key largo, prime cuts, etc. To give me plenty of styles to choose from for my aquascape? Do I need rods or can I just glue them together? What type of adhesive do I need? Will there adhesive be good? Was also looking at ordering there sand as well to make one order and done. Is there sand good? Which sand of there's to use? Would like suggestions from people who have used there products and how they used them. Also here is my build thread if interested.

Do I need rods or can I just glue them together?

Depends on what pieces you get and what you want to build.

What type of adhesive do I need? Will there adhesive be good?

Yes, use theirs, its genius and look at the vids on the Youtube.

Which sand of there's to use?

Purely aesthetic decision.

Its def a good Idea to call them and ask, And also let them know what youd like to accomplish with the scape. Full custom.

And Ill give a lil ump too,

I highly suggest buying their exopy cement.

Get a bunch of zip ties.

MArco rocks donated their E-Marco cement to be demo'd and raffled off for our local reef club. That cement is the strongest thing I have ever used. Better than epoxy and super glue and one of their reps even said it was a better product than their brand epoxy. Like salty said, it depends on what you want to build scape-wise as to what you should order. I think one of their kits would suffice your needs. 100 lbs of their rock would prob be too much for your size tank since their rock is so pourous and light.

Great stuff everyone! I watched a few videos, awesome!

I ordered the 54 lb cherryscape kit, sand and 20 lbs key largo for now. Will see how this plays out in the tank when it arrives.

I think you will be very happy. Here's an arch I made out of Marco rock with Marco cement
