new tank

[richierich2000]

I just got a new to me tank from marinefishguy it is a 210g peninsula tank.

I dipped the live rock in acid for 40 min. then in bleach for 48hours now I have rinsed it 4 time in fresh water and let it dry for a week.

I am going to start doing my rock work going to drill and put fiberglass rods in to hold it in place.

What would you guys do in between the rocks to make them look like one piece? cement mix or pond form ect.?

I just went with 6" x .5" rods. You can't see them so there is no need to add anything else. It already looks like one rock.

I am going to try just the rods and see how it looks.. will be starting sunday!!!

I still have a bunch of 1/2" acrylic rod if you haven't already purchased any.
