Has anyone ever suspended there live rock?, is it possible to hang some rock with fishing line ?

 

[Duffam3434]

I've never seen it. I'd be affraid of it falling and hitting the glass on the way down. How come? Do you have some kind of plan?

Anything is possible.. But I'd also be worried about it falling. Fish or something swimming into the line. If you decide to do it post some picks.

interesting idea

Suspended in the middle of "floating" on the wall?

A few magnet products out there.


Cheers,

Welcome to Reef 2 Reef; where no idea is to weird.

Doing some research, found some carbon fiber rope from a company called Fibraplex. from my reading it is about 5 times stronger than steel. I believe carbon fiber would be reef safe.

Awesome find!

Would it not move around in the flow with the rope?

I can see a custom cut lid and acrylic rod...

Cheers,

I wanna try to make a wall in back , with a ledge to place corals and give fish more ledge , working with a 55g , so I wanna get it as close to glass as possible. I'm thinking of placing rubber stoppers(to keep off glass) and a magnet. Looking for perfect rock

And also thought of using some fishing line for some extra support. I definitely don't want this thing falling

Here is a pic of my tank. I did a rock wall up the back. Used a wet saw to flat cut my live rock. secured it to the back with black pond foam. if this is kind of what your looking to do

 

[J062682l]

If you need more indepth tips that I learned from my build, let me know.

 

[J062682l]

Thanks guys with all these tips and hints. I'm gonna make something happen

reefcleaners.org has nice rock.

Tonga branches make awsome ledges. My thought is every tip of a Tonga branch is another colony of zoes.

Seamus, how did you get your rock to stack perfectly? I have to keep it easily moveable,So I don't want everything stuck or glued together .

 

[seamus2050]

As I put each piece in, I foamed it to the previous piece. Question, why does it have to be moveable? I am thinking how you can achieve my look in a removeable panel application.

 

[seamus2050]

Going to throw info at you as I find it for a panel system. Coated neodymium magnets. K&J Magnetics. product # byx0x08dcspc-blk $26.57 each, will hold 42.8 pounds each.
