Can you please tell me about how the aquascape was formed? Rods, PVC, zip ties, epoxy, etc...?

Thanks

Most of the structures were polygemed and the rest were dry fitted mostly because of the weight of the rock or structure.

We also continuously rotated the pieces until they fit naturally

I like your scape design...a question; what do you plan to do to this dead rock to prevent possible phosphorous leaching?

The rock has been treated in my pond liner for a few months. But as a precaution I will retreat it once I get water in the tank.

I was dosing 2mls per 2liters of RO/DI water into a 10 micron filter sock. I have a protein skimmer in the liner and I had another pump with a hose going into the filter sock and did it about twice a week.

Great aquascaping job. Makes me want to change mine...but I won't.

Sonic could make a killin aquascaping as a pt job.
