I notice many people attach their rocks to plastic cutting boards. Any type in particular? Where is the best place to buy safe ones? I never know what I can and can't put in my tank! I just don't want to buy something and have it leech into the tank.
I guess I could use eggcrate but then I can't drill for the rods I plan on using. Thanks!

I love it! I wish I would've gotten all pukani but money was a little tight at the time. It still like both types of rocks though. They are so easy to aquascape with! I still have to epoxy some of them down before I add any big fish like tangs, just in case lol

Nice! I like that -way- better than the massive rock-wall look I often see. I am looking to do something like that with a 6' 125. I'll post pics of the rockscape once I start putting it together. Getting close....

I suppose this might qualify as minimalist. 75g. Starting the cycle now.

I was going to post how much I really liked the reef system by Jgross4 but there are a lot of sweet looking systems here. I think I'll take the 5th and not post a photo of mine yet!
Hey SunnyX, how long have you had those Acros or did you get to buy them that big? We only have access to little frags if we are lucky around my area.

I am not for sure, but I have followed SunnyX's tank for years ad I do not think he is on this forum any longer....
He does however, have his own site where you can continue to see his tank.

Finished my 20g cubes aquascape yesterday...
Left... Front... Right...
I used dry Marco Rocks (and some cured ones from the LFS to seed.) I wanted to create the illusion of a much bigger tank, so I broke the rocks up and glued them together.
Only time will tell if I can actually attach corals to this thing!

Very cool! I like it.
you are looking for hdpe. look in your yellow pages for plastic supply places and they should be able to hook you up with what you need
I have been mounting like this for years using 3/4" hdpe, with 1/2" deep, 3/4" holes drilled into it, to hold the 3/4" acrylic rod epoxied to the rock. Any single one of these rods like this could support the entire reef on its own with 100% stability
On that note...Im getting close to done with my new aquascape project...a few more tweeks here and there

Looks GREAT, Bill!!! I have been wondering where you are!! How are you? As you can see, I am back in the Pacific Northwest again, moved back from Kansas in September....I had the Ricordia I got from you in my tank in KS, up until the day I had to sell everything! It did amazing! Anyway, glad to see you're still here and your tank looks awesome! How old is your son now? I have lost track.
