Show Me Your STAX ROCKS Aquascape!!!

Well that’s really unfortunate. I actually had very little damage in all of my boxes. Did you try and contact them?

If you contact them they are really up to snuff on customer service. And will probably send you a new box

Make sure you put it in the tank before you glue/epoxy it. Otherwise it may not be exactly right.

I've built them before. Make sure you do your homework on how to drill the rocks correctly

Of the various designs in here; most of the "less is more" and try to make a flow seem way better. I've been considering stax for my new system; I'll probably cut the existing rocks I have, but seeing a variety of thought patterns on how to use it is very useful!

I just aquascaped my new Red Sea XXL 750 with all STAX rocks. Here is a few pics.......still a little cloudy as I just added water and salt yesterday and have been stirring sand to get out all the air. The boxes of STAX were in good shape from my LFS and actually ended up having to break some of them into smaller pieces. I have made a few changes after these pics were taken but fairly minimal. I did get every single piece a nice rinse in RODI water before starting to stack them in the tank.

Do you have a update FTS? I think you don't have enough placement for corals so curious to see what it looks like

Lots of nice rockwork in this thread. I am starting my tank all over and just got a 40 pound box. What do you use to secure the rocks?

thanks

That’s amazing!! Very creative.

Love that tower and shelf. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone do this with Stax before and it looks great.

I just used superglue on mine. It works pretty good because of all the flat surfaces Stax rock has. My scape was fairly basic though. I’ve seen people use that E-Marco 400 for bigger more elaborate structures. I’m looking forward to see what you do with your 40# box.

I used e-Marco 400.
