You're probably thinking Marc/Fudge's tank... There's a link to his thread on RC in the thread here:

Lando, good call I think you are correct.

TheReefGeek 07-26-2006 07:45 PM

Tony, you read my mind, that is the exact thread I was thinking of, you're good!

This is what I am talking about with cool PVC structures to defy gravity:

I think I am getting the idea now. Went and saw Albert at lunch and after he ragged on me for being cruel to the shark he explained it too me. Off to home depot after work.

Getting 15 lbs of live rock tomorrow night and then in about 5 more week my first batch of concrete rock should be ready.

If any one has any more noobie sugestions and comments feel free to post them. Just remember though the tank is only 29G.......

Glenn,

What are you doing with the concrete and when are you going to start?

I would like to see it and perhaps try it myself.

Glenn, what process did you do in order to make your own rock?

Rock Salt and #10 concrete. Some I made in a sand form others I made free hand. It is in a bucket outside curing right now.

I made about 6 pieces so far. Hopefully more this weekend. If anyone has any ideas on how to easily crush water softener salt please let me kow. The pieces of salt are tooo big for the rocks I am making, so I had to use a hammer last time.
