getting creative with star polyps

[tims28gnano]

hi all

I have some green star polyp and just bought a little white star polp. I have them both in an area of the tank where they should NOT be able to take over the tank.

I was looking around in the tank and had a vision that included one of my kids toys.

You know the toy (usually in DR office) with the colored squares and circles on the metal rods that bend all over the place!

I was thinkg of making something like that and letting the star polyps encrust and take over the whole thing.

i was thinking to make an intersting design that would use "dead" space in the mid to upper portion of my tank that has nothing to look at!

What would be the best substance to use to make the "bent rod" out of? - - - - - I have connections with every type of fabrication you could think of - - - - so just point me in what you think is the right direction and I will keep you all posted!

THANKS

I would use 1/4 inch acrylic rod and bend it with a plumbers torch

I think it would be cool and unique, I don't see any reason for it not to work, maybe someone else can chime in? Definitely post pics, looking forward to it.

yeah - - - - thinking more, i will superglue green star on one end and white star on the other and enjoy watching them grow up and meet each other!!!

going on vacation, it should be in my tank a few days after I arrive home!

Pics WILL follow!
