to finish out my rock wall, anyone have any they can spare? let me know

TIA Chris

Ok well, I got the pond foam and started working on filling in the gaps. This stuff really expands, it says 3 times the size of the bead you lay, well lets just say its more like 5-6 times. Anyways, I was planning on doing some cutting and shaping of the foam but it looks like ill be doing more trimming than i thought, It should be fully cured and dried tomorrow, still have the overflow wall to foam in but Im liking the way it looks, just gotta see it in your head with the sand over the foam, it should all blend really nice.

I was tired of all the Rock\foam walls that had way to much foam, so i decided to makes sure these were more rock than foam, still got some work to do. but thanks for the kind words all

this is a build thread

what worked for me was a peppermint shrimp from Rockin reefs, that thing annihilated any and all aptasias i had

Ok got all the rock zip tied to the eggcrate. here is the piece that will go along the back wall.

here it is in the tank.

and the piece that will go on the overflow wall.

Tomorrow, i will go buy some pond foam and start filling in the cracks, then cut the zip ties and remove them. then comes the epoxy and the sand over the foam.

Got me 15 pounds of dry rock from Dave and took a hammer to it. and heres what i have. gonna start zip tying it to the eggcrate now more pics later this evening.

its been a work in progress for a while, Im trying to space it out so i dont rush and mess up lol

you zip tie the dry rocks to eggcrate then fill in the spaces between the rock with pond foam, then you coat the foam in a 2 part epoxy to seal it and while thats wet sprinkle it with sand to cover the foam. its an idea I got from RC

well finally lol good to know im doing something right

Yeah the pic is pretty bad but i had just fed and it was all swollen and pinched together and i saw another mouth on the one head soo take a look and let me know.

wow, that thing is colossal i like it.

me too Andrew, Im sick and tired of going into the closet to get clothes and having this thing mocking me on the shelf.

congrats man, glad that CUC is doing its thing, your tank should make its way to clean in another day or so.

I have the green with pink tips, I believe it comes in a branching form and a non branching form but i could be wrong

So I finally got around to doing a lil something on this tank again.

The Eggcrate cut and fit so i can make my rock walls. gotta make a trip out to Profs for some Dry Rock

Just the one frag for now, as soon as the others open they will go up.

The Frag about 10 polyps and these grow quick.

10$ takes it.Priced to move

Not trying to knock your tank, but do you have some aversion to going to one of the LFS here for livestock. It seems you could have already had some of the HA eaten up in the time your waiting for your CUC to be delivered. BTW i really like that overflow mod, I might have to try that on my 5 gallon

AOI=All In One. Its my own homemade biocube if you will lol

As far as tanks go IMO its all preference. I plan on keeping a pair of ocellaris in my AOI 10 gallon that i constructed, as long as you keep up with cleaning and WC's you should be fine.

And as far as lighting goes, I would just pick up a Coralife 150w clip on and stick that on whatever you end up with, Great little light, I love mine.

Like said "Last Resort" Mine had gotten outta control. It was so bad I didnt even want to look at the tank
