I made a stalactite

The return hook's up with the sculpture here and blows right through it and in the back ground behind the eggcrate panel ensuring no dead spots

The stalactite is held with a pair of braces to prevent it from bobing to the surface as it is lighter because of the foam and giving its stability againts the water movement

All of that ceramic is great but don't try to grow SPS in that tank with all of that leaching heavy metals ceramic in there.

First it would be nice if you would indicate which one your refering too. Second most of these are made with cement with a sealer. At the beginning of the thread the company making specialised ceramic walls for aquarium , don't make it to poison are tanks its aquarium safe, it dont leach, it would be bad for business don't you think???:debi:

Read this before saying things....Great videos too

Great thread Mudbeaver, thanks for putting so many aquascaping ideas into one place. :thumbsup:

Thanks those are techniques i've found over the years that i'm sharing, hoping it help other with ideas. The techniques are out there and simple really. Always apply a sealer on your work before putting anything in your tank. Have fun.

Everybody is welcome to post their work here too its your thread too , the more ideas the better.
