Final rockscaping...opinions?

[Stickgal]

This is what I came up with for my 46 inch bow front after suggestions here. Opinions? No idea why it copied upside down...grrrr

Looking at it right-side up, it's nice work. Just for the sake of slight nit-picking, you might be able to achieve some height with the rock and also leave some space in the back (where crud can collect like no one's business) by stacking it a bit more vertically, and you could take advantage of the better light conditions higher up, depending on your stocking list.

Yeah, I tried that and it looked great, but I just couldn't get it stable enough. Do you know if you can use any of the adhesives made for aquariums when the Rock is wet?

Two adhesives I'm aware of are marine epoxy (takes time, works great) and gel-form superglue, which I would not trust on anything much larger than a frag. You can also zip-tie the rock in strategic areas; the zip tie eventually disappears as it becomes overgrown with deposits and various kinds of life.

Dang that looks good, wish mine hardscaping skills were that good. I made the berlin wall in my tank

Concur on the zip ties. May need to drill a hole or two to align your rocks the way you want them.

Looks really nice to me. Also lots of space to put corals on!
Great job!

Thanks...I guess three days of frustration were worth it...lol. The rocks are really stable, but I will have to use something if I want to go higher. Great advice!

Make sure to leave enough room on the sides to be able to clean the glass properly

150Ron, I pretty sure I did but will recheck for sure
