DIY 'rock' wall

3rd Feb 2011

I'm setting up another tank and wanted a way to separate the plant substrate from the sand i want to use at the front (for my cories) So i decided to build a wall, quite pleased how it turned out actually

All that was used was foam, silicon and black quartz sand.

Finally picked up the bag of gravel i needed (approx 20kg of gravel/laterite/JBL mix behind the wall) Substrate is now all in

Soooooo its done, well pretty much, needs a few more plants, but this is all i have at the moment.

Now filled, lights running. Still gotta fix up the canister, then plug it all in


I must say i'm rather proud of how it turned out

That looks utterly fantastic !!!!!!!!!

I think you are very talanted as regards to setting up your aquariums, what you do is very effective and you have a great imagination to create such a thing.
Very nice and very impressive.
